Yeah, I wouldn't mess with that. Definitely send it back.

Get off your butt and place your order. You aren't gaining anything by sitting on the fence. Amazon has a super liberal return policy and I've played the panel lottery game with them and it's been fine.

Bump!

Bump, another price drop. Will entertain offers, too.

Bump, price drop.

Up you go!

Original owner, purchased October 2014. Fantastic monitor for color accurate work. As I'm primarily a gamer I've switched to a Gsync 144Hz display so this doesn't suit my current needs. It is in immaculate condition and comes with all original cables and box. It will be shipped in the same box...

I think I'll try out the Acer panel. Or give up on the whole mess. My replacement panel came in today. January 2016 build date, this time with a QC passed sticker on it. Blacklight bleed is comparable to my first unit. Seems to occur in more spots but the intensity isn't quite as much. Le...

This is weird. I requested a replacement from Amazon, but now the unit I have seems to have its orange glow lessened. It could entirely be me getting accustomed to it. And yes, I've read the same thing on Reddit. Who knows if it's the placebo effect or not. How are you finding your PG279Q...

That's kind of my feelings. If this was $400 I wouldn't be so bothered by it. It's the yellow that bothers me, which is from the big old bleed spot in that corner. The left corner has a hint of bleed, but not to such a degree that it colors that corner's glow. I do notice it under gaming...

I said I wouldn't do any backlight bleed tests until it became apparent it was an issue, so here I am. I noticed that the IPS glow in the lower right corner is a yellow tinge, compared to the typical silver which is apparent on the rest of the screen. I think it's the pretty heavy bleed in...

Mine as well is outside the SN range that was reported to have problems. I don't think I'll run any more backlight bleed/dead pixel tests on it as nothing is apparently wrong with the display; I'll use as normal and observe any defects if/when they occur. I do think I'll be buying a Ergotron...

I bit the bullet and ordered the PG279Q from Amazon. It just arrived, and set it up with the optimum OSD measurements from the TFT central review. I've ran it through some very basic pixel checks, so far so good. What's interesting is the backlight bleed is only present in one very small...

I agree, the fact that one must be mentally prepared to play the panel lottery to get a good sample, for a $800+ monitor, seems absurd. However, if one wants IPS + 144 Hz that seems to be the name of the game. I had a Dell S2716DG that I ended up returning as I couldn't live with a TN panel...

Honestly, if it had a G-Sync module I would consider buying one. I've had Eizo monitors for the last 3 years and absolutely love the build quality and styling. All the other 144 Hz IPS monitors have outlandish bezels that are hard for me to look past. I'll keep my eyes on this monitor...
