UPDATE * Pics of a "normal" PG279Q?

[dbpavey]

I will be receiving my 2nd PG279Q today in about an hour. The first had horrible backlight bleeding and was returned. I have yet to see any pics of a "normal" or "acceptable" PG279Q panel. Does anyone have some to share for comparison? Crossing my fingers for a good panel, but not holding my breathe. Thanks!

UPDATE: I won the lotto! Minor glow around the edges. Was so excited forgot to take pics before I boxed it back up(im at my office) WIll post pics tonight.

Nice! mine doesn't have the backlight issue. Mine has the top half of my screen turns yellow tint with a white background issue. -_-. other than that its perfect which sucks.

I got the second replacement today. Looks exactly the same as the other ones.
How bad can ASUS be? This is the worst experience I have ever had with a product. Plagued with stuck pixels, backlight bleed, scratches on the panel...
I will go for a refund now, tired of this garbage quality... Or I will get replacements until I have a good one so I can make sure that my supplier runs out of their stock... Maybe then ASUS will acknowledge their defective products...

I got one with the yellow tint on the top half issue. Will be sending back to E-Retailer.
Found a local store with two in-stock, since I want a good one of these I will be buying one
And testing in tore before I leave. If that one is no good I will Exchange for the second one
and hope that one will be good.


*********UPDATE*********

Bought the one from the local store and it has some major back light bleed on one corner and
moderate bleed on the two other corners. One corner is flawless though. No dead pixels
or bright spots from what I could see. My $300 Asus IPS monitors (4 of them) have absolutely 0 bleed
so its hard to consider keeping this one when I can just go exchange it and hope for a better one. If the
Third one doesnt work out I'll probably stop trying and just wait until the New NVidia Pascal GPU's
are released and I'll see if there are any better options for a monitor at that time
(like maybe a 4k 144hz or 165hz screen). Don't think those will be available in a few months but
hopefully they will have the new panels in place for these monitors without as many failures.
Will update when I get my third attempt at a pg279q
