Just had my PG278Q delivered. Got it off of Amazon in advance of my new build which will be skylake based and have dual 980 Ti's.
I was nervous too reading to issues people were having. It was between this monitor and the PG279Q and I ultimately decided on the TN panel because I did not want to deal with ips glow and want to keep the response time as low as possible for fps gaming. I am replacing my Asus VG248QE.
No dead pixels which was a relief.
I calibrated it based on the TFTCentral settings and icc profile. I do have some backlight bleeding along the frame...mostly along the bottom. After calibration it is barely noticeable but when I first set it up at the stock 80 brightness you could see it pretty clearly. I game in a darkened room with bias lighting behind my monitor.
It looks great though so far. I'm going to use it and see if I notice the blb at all during my normal routine. But I haven't so far and right now I am very happy with it.
