Amazing product with small problems
This review is for the Asus PG279Q
After my PG348Q died I felt like I don't want anymore of the ultrawide nonsense. It had a lot of problems. This monitor had almost the best reviews and price-quality ratio, so I decided to give it a go. I give this monitor 4/5 stars, because it has a manufacturing (maybe? not sure) damage, but it is not obvious and does not affect the usage so I don't want to send it back.
Pros:
- Packaged very well. A lot of styrofoam. I mean A LOT.
- Easy to use menu,
- After tweaking it to your own taste the image quality is very good,
- Backlight bleeding is there, but not too harsh and easy to reduce with the visual and color temp controls,
- 120-144-165 Hz works like a charm with the G-Sync, but with some games it can be finicky,
- Cable management is definitely a +1. You don't want to see more and more cables,
- Great design,
- Viewing angles are great,
- Built in FPS counter, timer and crosshair for gaming purposes,
- The gliders to move the face up and down works smoothly with even one finger,
- There are speakers.
Cons:
- Image quality is very weak by default, but you can tweak it for yourself. Not recommended for basic users (see cons.),
- There is some IPS glow, but it's an IPS panel. What should I expect? (On the picture it's far more extreme than what you can see IRL)
- Overheating after a while at overclocked refresh rate,
- Small damage on the left side of the frame. I have no idea how could this happen with a high quality and expensive gaming monitor. They should check for defects. Maybe Asus is the new Tesla? :D
- Even though there are speakers, but the sounds quality is very basic. Even my phone sounds better.
A few tips:
- Turn off V-Sync in your GPU settings,
- Turn on G-Sync in your nVidia Control Panel,
- Check Tom’s Hardware website for the best settings you can have.

Perfection!
Hard to know where to start, this is an absolutely stunning piece of kit. Obviously it is not cheap and it's going to be a hard purchase to justify for some, but believe me you get what you pay for. The IPS screen looks amazing, colours pop out at you in a way that you just don't get with a TN panel. I have a particular dislike for TN panels to me they looks horrible and washed out. None of that with this display. The G Sync works flawlessly making games run so smooth and buttery that you'd be forgiven for thinking you had not just bought a job lot or Lurpack!
And the lack of ghosting is amazing, from what I have read IPS panels suffer from ghosting more than TN panels, but someone forgot to tell ASUS this, as the ghosting is almost non-existent on this monitor, it is better that some previous TN panels I have owned. Also the brightness level is very high, in fact almost too high for gaming at night, I have to turn it down when playing at night or I find it hurts my eyes.
It has an easy to understand and navigate menu system too. Only one tiny negative point is the speakers, I find it hard to understand why they bothered with the speakers, they sound shockingly bad, I mean REALLY bad, not that I was expecting them to sound really good, I mean if you are buying this monitor then you are a serious gamer, right? so you will be using proper dedicated speakers, which makes it even harder to understand why they bothered at all with the appalling ones in this monitor, hard to understand, but no matter, this is a superb monitor for gaming and will last you years!

Great monitor, bad Quality control
Just to make things clear monitor is great and difference between 1080p 60hz and this is stunning. As many more people here I am the one that have quality issues as well. Luckily I have nearly to none bleed or IPS but I have one dead black pixel near the middle of the screen. Knowing how bad QA is on these monitors I decided for now to leave it as monitor is qhd and pixel itself is very tiny and I don't think it will bother me, I could RMA it and hope that I get flawless one but I'm afraid of playing lottery. I will return it only if more comes up which I hope won't happen. It's great monitor worth it price for sure if you are willing to spend so much money on something that might be very defective if you unlucky. If you not ready for that than wait till QA improves.

Too Soon...
[This monitor lasted me 8 months from purchase from December 2015 (Manufacturer date: September 2015) till now in August 2016 to reveal any backlight bleed issues.]
Pros:
Overall the monitor provides great colour and vibrant contrast with amazing details for gaming at 1440p resolution at 60fps, or near almost, from my trusted GTX970 and i7-6700 PC.
Cons:
The build quality is the only thing which lets it down as the front bezels can be seen with small gaps that look odd when up close in daylight and can sometimes let in small miniscule particles and bits of dust.
Backlight bleed was not as bad as I had first hoped when bought but it gradually began to show up in the last couple of weeks, mainly visible on the top right corner of the screen. The screen appearing more misty and greyish which catches your attention when in dark cutscenes.

Incredible Monitor, but I did get very lucky with the Backlight Bleed on mine.
This Monitor is simply phenomenal. I was lucky with the RNG of the one I got as there is only a tiny bit of backlight bleed on the bottom left, and an even smaller amount on the top right. I never game in the dark and always have my light on so 95% of the time you can't even see the bleed if you tried. It's quite a chunky and heavy monitor, but it's extremely sturdy and well built. The weight is also a good thing IMO, because it makes for very easy rotating and tilting of the monitor without any chance of the base moving. I also love the amount of vertical adjustment you can do with this monitor.
Overall I'd give it a solid 9/10. The only reason that it's not a 10/10 is because there is some backlight bleed, albeit very, very little.
It's a shame the BLB is such a serious issue with these types of monitors, and even more so when it's inconsistent and has people rolling a dice to determine how bad the BLB they get is. For the price of this monitor, it might not be worth the risk, but if you get a good one you will not be disappointed!!

Great monitor let down by poor build quality for it’s price
Despite all the mixed reviews of this monitor I took the plunge and purchased one.
Picture quality is fantastic but it had four areas of backlight bleed and for me that’s unacceptable for such a premium product so I have returned it for a refund, will have to look at something else instead.

If you can afford, consider this monitor
This monitor is fantastic for proper enthusiasts, very fast refresh rate what I’m a big fan of being 165hz especially at 1440p. The menu system takes a bit to get used to but once it’s working it’s great. The speakers are internal so don’t expect a ful 20Hz to 20kHz in audio quality, but they make do watching YouTube videos, I am planning to get some proper speakers.
The box is huge and comes as one unit of you want to keep the box for future moving,
Overall I love this monitor testufo.com and you can see the difference a high refresh monitor makes to everyday tasks

Has a bit of IPS glow in the corners, doesn't matter one bit.
Did a lot of research before buying and there are stories of bad IPS glow and/or light bleed - but don't worry too much about that. It seems even the best quality units suffer for one or both to some degree, almost unavoidable with this technology. So, provided you don't get one that is truly awful, it's not a particularly noticeable effect - certainly not when gaming. In terms of picture quality and performance...this thing is astonishing when setup correctly with gsync running etc. Pricey but fantastic display.

I no longer need to go outside, outdoors graphics are nothing compared to this
This screen is excellent! Having seen lots of light bleed videos etc and tested some others I was dubious about it but it was all for nothing, I plugged this thing in, got it configured in a few minutes and went playing some of my games. I thought my eyes were going to melt, most of my games can easily push the 144 FPS but this bad boy can go 165 FPS and boy does it look smooth, having used a 60hz monitor for a year now with 2x 1080's this was like some kind of dream to look at. You can twist it, spin it all about the place like that annoying kids toy and it just being on your desk makes you want to tidy the whole area around it up as it looks so good glowing red. Its unbelievably smooth and no matter how close you get your face to it you can't see a single pixel, and yes Crysis does run at 165FPS. If you're considering this then consider no more, its expensive for a screen but you can't put a cost on the glory of graphics and light that shine from this. Quite simply, it's spectacular!

The Prefect Monitor
In now way did this monitor grab the 5 star rating without a few issues, My first monitor arrived and had major BLB (Back light Bleed) issues and had to be replaced, however when the new monitor arrived I started to test and calibrate the monitor, the color accuracy is outstanding and on of the best I have ever seen from a monitor.
The on screen controls make it very easy to navigate the various setting and color modes and the joy stick makes configuration a joy rather than a boring waste of time.
The stand has an extremely good build quality and barely moves when the table is wobbled and the range of adjustments means you can place the monitor anywhere.
G-sync has been implemented perfectly into the display, I could not find any evidence of screen tear or major blur when playing high tempo games and FPSs
The main question is, is it worth the price tag? YES 100%

The dog's danglies
I have spent quite a while drooling over this. Yes, it is a lot of money. Yes, it's "only" a 27" and bigger screens are available. Yes, it's 2k not 4k. But in all honesty coming from an HD 27" this is a stunner. You overclock to 165hz via the screen menu. Mine is running happily enough at 144hz just vai the pc anyway. It is now sitting between a pair of 144hz 27" Iiyama screens. The bezel is much thinner on the Asus. First screen ive owned that comes fully put together in the box. Screen is set to portrait for travel and just turns. It's got a very wide range of adjustment for the stand too. I know a lot of the earlier ones had light bleed on the screens. I was a bit nervous about that, but it seems to have been less recent ones. Mine is bleed free. The glowing and pulsing red LED base is novel too. At 27" its enough screen space. I looked at a 32" but I couldnt find one with the same specification - The price hikes painfully too.

Bad backlight bleed, stay away. It's a shame for such a nice panel...
Well for £667 I'd expect better quality control. The IPS panel was beautiful but the backlight bleed was horrendous. It was in 2 corners and in the top middle. Now I my current panel is a Asus 1080p IPS 60hz panel that doesn't have any backlight bleed issue. It does have IPS flow as every IPS panel does. But the amount of back bléed on this Asus pg279q is unacceptable at that price. I instantly issued a refund as I couldn't get passed that. Will be checking other brands at this point

Good high quality monitor overall but not worth the price if it has issues with it. I had to return it back in few days first there was small light bleeds around the edges of screen you will specially notice it where there is dark scenes on monitor it wasn't a real big problem for me I could live with that. next time when I turned the pc on and looked at the monitor I notice there was small black bar all around the edges of screen. it was strange I hadn't noticed it last few days it just looked terrible so I tried to change the settings on windows and NVidia but it didn't work and restarted pc turned the power off I did all I could but I couldn't get rid of the black bars around the edge so I returned it. wish I had token pictures of it. lucky the seller accept the free return for that 3 stars thank you

Great monitor
Such a shame about the back light bleed in the right top and bottom corners, however, if you turn the brightness down it reduces this significantly and also you don't notice it when playing a game, watching a movie or even sitting looking at desktop.
Otherwise it's a great monitor, I'm hitting 165fps on most games and they look spectacular!!
I would say not to worry too much about the back-light bleed and concentrate on what this monitor does best!

Worth the price
I have got this for a present for my boyfriend and honestly after seeing it in action I'm happy with money well spent. It has the best specifications money could buy right now. Ghosting is barely visible to see not at all for an untrained eye and unless u stare a lot , but honestly it is super smooth works well with games and has great refresh rate. If you have a gamer in your life this is close to the perfect gift!

Almost perfect
As someone coming from an old 60Hz monitor, the best part of upgrading to this has been the fluidity and smoothness you get from the higher refresh rate, followed by how the higher resolution makes everything look cleaner while also giving you a lot more space. My previous monitor already had good colour reproduction so the fact this also does isn't as striking, but I can't fault it at all after some tuning to get it just how I wanted. I use a 2 monitor setup and moving my mouse between them is night and day, to the point it makes it hard to go back to what you will now perceive as a sluggish feeling you get with a 60Hz monitor.
The reason for the 4 stars is probably what you're expecting if you are seriously considering this monitor as you've probably already done some research given how big of an investment it is. That's right, it's the backlight bleed. Now I will say that any pictures you see really do exaggerate how bad the problem is when it comes to this. I've taken a picture and looked at the monitor right in front of me, and the picture makes it look MUCH worse than it is in reality. That said, unless you get extremely lucky you're likely going to end up with some which you will notice in the corners during dark scenes. My top right corner in particular is pretty bad, and I've just been trying to rationalise to myself that it's not much of a problem because so much of what you do while using a monitor is look in the middle where there's no problem at all. It's still a huge bummer given how much you pay, but the trade-off for me personally just balances out to be worth tolerating this downside compared to the multiple upsides.
-------------
The build quality and manoeuvrability with the stand couldn't be much better, same goes for the OSD which is both easy to navigate and has everything you'd expect from a high end monitor.
G-Sync really does makes screen tearing something you no longer need to worry about, though whether that's worth the price premium is up to each person to decide. It's just nice never having to deal with it and games are noticeably smoother.

This monitor is excellent. It has made such a huge difference for gaming. Excellent image quality and an outstanding refresh rate, I didn't realise just how much of a difference 165 Hz would actually make.
It would appear I have been fortunate in comparison to other reviewers as the light bleed on mine is practically non-existent. The only way I can see it is by turning it on in a very dark room and looking for it specifically.
The only issue I had is that this product arrived with an EU plug only and so I have had to purchase an EU to UK adaptor.

Avoid this monitor like the plague.
I bought this monitor, It came with terrible back light bleeding so I was given a replacement. Fast forward to a couple days later I received the replacement to find it has a huge scratch across the stand, Multiple dead pixels all over the screen and worst bleeding then the first. Bare in mind this replacement was supposed to be "New" but it looked like someone had been using it for years. I will be returning the replacement also and getting a refund if you're smart avoid this monitor.

Another excellent ASUS product
Built a new multipurpose setup this week and decided to pick up this monitor to cover all my gaming/free time needs. My delivered unit came with no dead pixels and minimal backlight bleed. If you're shopping for a higher end monitor right and and struggling with what to pick, I would definitely recommend researching this one to cover any 2K/high FPS/high refresh rate needs, this is especially true if you can make use of Nvidia's G-Sync tech.
By no means a fan boy, but after buying several Asus items I can say they have some of the best packaging materials and techniques in this market. When you drop 1/4 to 1/8th of your salary to buy a screen you want to get the best bang for your buck and it's always a pleasant surprise to get a package from Asus. The packages look bad ass and when you open them up you'll find a bit of overkill with safety packaging, always some mix of strong cardboard + air bags + plastic/poly bag and then however much film it takes to cover your screen, shiny emblems and/or accent pieces.
Buy once, cry once!

Asus PG279Q - Amazing Monitor.
Pondered a while before deciding to get the Asus PG279Q rather than the Acer Predator XB271HU. Read that both panels had reports of problems with either severe backlight bleeding, dead pixels, or both requiring owners to RMA them - sometimes multiple times =[.
My previous monitor for the past 8 years or so was a TN type Samsung 226BW (S series). Served me incredibly well, but I wanted to step up to a higher resolution monitor with G-Sync, and also something firing off at more than 60Hz. This and the Acer fit the bill, and it was perhaps reading more reviews favouring the Asus that made up my mind. Pricey, but I figured worth it if I keep it for 9 years like the Samsung.
I'm incredibly pleased with my decision. Amazing step up from the Samsung's 1690x1050 resolution. Bigger screen + clearer picture.
No dead pixels. Very subtle backlight bleed at the top right of screen (I had to look hard to discern it), and virtually no IPS glow (that I can make out.)
Based on the panel I've received, I rate this monitor an easy 5 stars.

Lucked out!
I was originally sceptical after reading the horror stories on the various IPS monitors and the quality control issues of this particular model. I took the plunge knowing I may have to replace it a few times or even go for a full refund in the event of backlight bleed. However, I'm happy to say I lucked out on my first monitor. There is a tiny 2" patch of bleed on the top right but the rest of the screen is perfect. I received an Oct 2017 version which is newer stock and I couldn't be happier with the quality. It's a spectacular picture and framerate.

Game Changer.
1 star deducted: My unit has 1 dead pixel on the upper left side which, honestly, isn't too distracting, but is still a bit unfortunate. Also, the mains power supply that came with it that attaches to the external power brick was a European 2-pin plug, which meant I had to go out and buy a travel adapter before I could even turn it on. Surely an adapter could have been included since this is a premium item, no? Other than that the monitor is flawless - absolutely minimal backlight bleed, which was one of my biggest concerns from reading/watching reviews, even then, the dead pixel isn't too noticeable or distracting, certainly not worth returning it as my replacement could possibly be worse. Anyhow, onto my proper review:
The image quality on this thing is outstanding. Beautiful colours, great contrast and the 1440p resolution and 27" screen are a perfect mix. Coming from a standard 1080p monitor, this is a total game changer - I never want to go back! The on-screen display interface is a total breeze to navigate due to the little joystick it uses, making changing settings a LOT less time consuming than other monitors I've used. Not only that, the menus are very intuitive and straightforward. The build quality is very substantial - all matte plastic, totally gloss free. It feels sturdy and like a very premium product. Also, there is an (optional) set of red LEDs on the base which can be turned on and off through the on-screen display. Pretty cool.
G-Sync is (literally) a game changer. Games have never been so smooth before - completely tear free. The overdrive setting on this monitor is also perfect. Minimal ghosting and motion blur which, for an IPS panel, is incredible. I'll never buy a non-adaptive sync display again, it's really that good.
I'm using this monitor with GTX 1070 and I have to say they make a terrific pairing. The performance is MORE than adequate - 60fps+ on ultra with The Witcher 3, DOOM, Rise of The Tomb Raider, Metro: Last Light and GTA: V. Older or less demanding games send the framerate through the roof which is never a bad thing. So it's safe to say, I'm a VERY happy camper.
So, in conclusion, if you have a fairly beefy NVIDIA GPU and can afford to drop £660 on a monitor you can't go far wrong with this one.
The image quality on this thing is outstanding. Beautiful colours, great contrast and the 1440p resolution and 27" screen are a perfect mix. Coming from a standard 1080p monitor, this is a total game changer - I never want to go back! The on-screen display interface is a total breeze to navigate due to the little joystick it uses, making changing settings a LOT less time consuming than other monitors I've used. Not only that, the menus are very intuitive and straightforward. The build quality is very substantial - all matte plastic, totally gloss free. It feels sturdy and like a very premium product. Also, there is an (optional) set of red LEDs on the base which can be turned on and off through the on-screen display. Pretty cool.
G-Sync is (literally) a game changer. Games have never been so smooth before - completely tear free. The overdrive setting on this monitor is also perfect. Minimal ghosting and motion blur which, for an IPS panel, is incredible. I'll never buy a non-adaptive sync display again, it's really that good.

Great monitor for Gaming, but watch out for Quality Control
There are two main monitors that give you the option for IPS, very high refresh rate and G-Sync. The Asus PG279Q and the Acer XB271HU. Both of these monitors are very similar in performance and price. But I have gone through multiple versions of each one to find a good one due to terrible light bleed on 2 out of 3 of the Asus models and horrible colour consistency on the Acers; 2 out of 2.
The Acer doesn't appear to have as much light bleed but this seems to be partially hidden due to the way the monitor shows colour. There is a distinct yellow tint over the entire screen that semi-hides the bleed. It does have less anyway but it sacrifices quality of colour. I much preferred the colour output and consistency on the Asus. However if you are more concerned about light bleed you are more likely to find it there as well. I was luckier with my third Asus as it had minimal light bleed and the colour was good.
In summary of the panel quality, if you are bothered about colour, get the Asus. If light-bleed is more of a concern then get the Acer.
In terms of the rest of the monitor, neither of them look bad, but I personally prefer Asus's design with the consistent sized bevel around the screen. Acer had a smaller bezel on 3 edges but a huge one across the bottom of the screen. Both the monitors appeared very solid and well constructed.
For gaming; the difference between 60hz and 144/165hz is like night and day. Just bear in mind that you will need a very powerful setup to get above 100hz in every game. I have a GTX 980TI and most recent games like the Witcher 3 and Dying Light run between 50-80 and 80-120 respectively at max settings. G-Sync is also great as it removes screen tearing completely.

Awesome but flawed
I'll start off by saying that this monitor is awesome. The smoothness, the colours, the great stand, the sharpness. Having said that there is still the backlight bleed issue, preventing me from giving it a perfect rating.
I read about this issue quite a bit online, however I came across a statement from ASUS stating that they are addressing the problem by having a more rigorous QC process, with seemingly opened packages being an indication that this process had taken place before shipping to retailers. Now, when my package arrived, it did look like it had been opened, so I was hopeful. Some of the pictures I saw online of the backlight bleed issue looked terrible.
In terms of my own monitor, there is a slightly noticeable backlight bleed when playing dark games like horror games on a high brightness with the lights off, or when having a dark desktop background. In the first scenario it does become less noticeable over time, and when you lower the brightness. It's nowhere near as noticeable as some of the images I've seen online, so maybe the QC process has improved things, but there's still room for improvement.
Overall, great monitor, probably one of the best you can find at the moment. There is the issue with backlight bleed, and there's no guarantee that your backlight bleed won't be worse than mine, but I'd still recommend this monitor.

Very nice - if you get a good one
The first one had a LOT of IPS glow in the top right hand corner and I thought I could live with it but after a few days I cracked and replaced it. Amazon sent another one two days later and it's ALMOST perfect. There is a very small amount, again in the top right corner but it's hardly visible. If you're paying this sort of money they should make sure you get NO issues. The Eizo panels can get there so why not everyone else? Calibration is ok if you do it yourself and don't use the presets.

Sort out your QC Asus.
My monitor has a dead pixel and backlight bleed especially in bottom right corner. The monitor has discoloration too, top middle section of the screen has a dark yellowish hue. Can't recommend this product unless you're ok with getting a very expensive monitor that has issues.

Best Monitor Ever!!
Mine came with a small dead pixel at top (only the wife notices it, doesn't bother me), but with no bleeding whatsoever, as these monitors are prone to do so (read the horror stories elsewhere). So better the Devil you know, sometimes ;)

Amazing Monitor but let down by backlight bleed
Everything about this Monitor is superb. The build quality is top notch and looks and feels very premium. The stand is very sturdy and thhe swiveling and ability to rotate the screen to a portrait view is effortless.
The panel itself is a joy to use as colours are super vibrant and the resolution and super high refresh rate are amazing when gaming. I'd say the 27" 1440p resolution is the sweet spot for everyday computer use as well as gaming as you can play games at high settings without having to spend ridiculous amounts of money on the latest GPUs.
Unfortunately it is let down a but by the backlight bleed due to the panel being IPS. It is a lottery if you get a good IPS panel or not, however mine came with pretty severy bleed on the bottom right corner and minor amounts on the top right and top left corners. You can't really notice unless the screen is all black but it does factor into my decision to give it 4 stars instead of 5.
Overall a great product which I absolutely love using.

Excelent product that really helps you to capture every minute detail when playing games. However it is a bit on the expesinve side and you really need to invest in a good pc to really see the benifits. If it wan't for the cost I would easily give this product 5 star.

Amazon Warehouse Delivered
What can I say, I previously had 3 of these monitors which suffered from the known poor backlight bleed, poor panel uniformity and severe glow. After having sold my x34 I wanted to go back to this and went for an Amazon Warehouse ‘acceptable’ condition monitor. Very apprehensive when opening as the box was not in great condition to find what essentially was a new monitor. No backlight bleed and very limited glow with much improved uniformity. Result. For info the manufacture date was October 2017

i could not be happier with the purchase
After reading many reviews complaining about backlight bleed, i was hesitant to buy this monitor, but did when it was on sale over the Christmas period. i could not be happier with the purchase. The graphics and resolution are amazing, especially when mixed with a high end graphics card. i have had the monitor for several months now and have had no issues with backlight bleed at all, there is at times small amounts of ips glow however this is rare and incredibly minimal and is fixed by simply swivelling my chair a little to change the angle im looking at the screen at. can highly recommend this monitor if you but it new, cant speak for second hand purchases.

Fortunately, the monitor I received has no dead pixels
I was lucky to get this monitor direct from amazon early December as they only had one in stock and weren't expecting it. I did not have high hopes for the monitor based on all the earlier reviews from users with quality issues such as dead/stuck pixels, back light bleed, screen uniformity. Fortunately, the monitor I received has no dead pixels, screen uniformity is great and has very little back light bleed.
The colours out of the box are really good and after calibrating the monitor with my spyder, the display looks amazing, colours really stand out and the blacks really make the image pop and jump out at you no matter what format you are viewing, games, movies or the internet, everything looks so good. Best monitor I've owned and wont be upgrading anytime soon. Just need my oculus and vive now to complete my setup.
Gsync is a blessing for playing new games, specially games that haven't been optimized very well and ULMB is really cool for really sharp, clear images (I only use ULMB for older games I play that are guaranteed to run 120fps and use Gsync fir more demanding games).
Overall I am very happy with my purchase even though it was quite expensive for around £700. Monitors are something I dont buy very often and my old one has served me well for the last 7 years and still going strong. I do not mind paying more if a item is going to last me a long time. Great monitor!

What more can I say that hasn't been said?
Use this for gaming and general work. Had an RTX 2080 TI which this monitor absolutely took advantage of and this allowed me to play my FPS games at higher frame rates for a slight advantage in games.
Great monitor even in this day!

Best all around monitor
My only concern was the Backlight bleed, but honestly it's barely visible, wouldn't change this monitor for any other!
IPS is amazing! I've changed it for my previous Dell IPS, and it's definitely capable of some professional editorial work.
165hz is buttery smooth! Seeing my old 60hz it hurts, even in a desktop.

Give it a go. What do you have to lose other than some time if you buy from a reputable retailer with a good returns policy ?
My monitor is fine. Very small amount of ips glow, no backlight bleed.
Great picture love the features.
I am sure the bad experiences of many are genuine and a concern but poor handling or initial quality control were probably the cause.
I wouldn't let them put you off seeing for yourself.

Great screen - If you get a good panel
Before ordering I knew I was playing the 'panel lottery' as some call it and hoped to get the best one possible. The panel I did get was mostly ok, some bleed in the bottom right corner but its ok. 99% of the time it is not noticeable. The actual screen is amazing, going from a cheap monitor from 2013 to this is night and day. Colours pop, 144hz + and G-Sync make it a must buy for productivity and gaming. Would I recommend this? Yes, with Amazons easy returns if you do get a bad panel then you can return it and try again, but you do expect better quality from a £600+ monitor.

Amazing Monitor, ruined by poor Quality Control
First off the monitor itself is incredible. Coming from a 60HZ 1080P to this is incredible and makes it impossible to go back. The G-Sync feature makes games much more immersive.
However. ASUS QC is a joke as the monitor I received has awful backlight bleed coming from the corners, similar to many others here. A monitor at this price point should not have issues like this!
Thankfully Amazon have a fantastic return policy so a replacement is en-route. I will update this review once it has arrived.

No BLB or dead pixels. Good job ASUS!
Bought this one as a gamble reading everywhere how bad the BLB is and people having dead pixels half the times etc. I was ecstatic to find out that my monitor had no issues whatsoever. There is ever so slight BLB on the top right but it's so minimal you can't see it unless you really try hard in a pitch black room. I can't tell you how glad I am that I was one of the lucky ones and I wanted to give credit where credit is due. Maybe ASUS has indeed stepped up their QC. If my case is anything to go by then it's absolutely true. A very happy customer here.

Terrible backlight bleed
Event compared to 60Hz, 144Hz is amazing, 165Hz even more so. It's an IPS display so colour is vibrant and viewing angles are not an issue.
The moment the game switches from an epic battle to a cut scene and the screen turns black you'll see it: the backlight bleed. The screen should be black but it has blobs of light coming thru on the edges. They might say that backlight bleed is common on IPS panels but I expect more from a £670 monitor.

Absolutely stunning
Thought I'd change my review - my initial review was very shortly after buying the monitor and perhaps I hadn't had enough time with the monitor to really offer a decent opinion on it. Now I've had just over 5 months of heavy use with it and I think I have a fairly good idea of how I'd rate it. I contemplated putting my review down to 4 stars because of the minor BLB I get but honestly I already knew that I'd probably have a bit when I ordered it (it's nowhere near bad enough for me to want to RMA) so I'm leaving my review at 5 stars because the screen is quite simply the best monitor I could have ever asked for - I'll have it for many years to come, hopefully! Maybe I'll update my review again in a year or two but so far I'm still loving it and would recommend it to absolutely anyone that can afford it. Even convinced a friend of mine to get one and he feels the same!
Get it. Enjoy it. Experience gaming like you never have before! Just make sure your rig has the horsepower to fully utilise this bad boy ;)

G-Sync and IPS, fantastic
This is a fantastic monitor. Minimal light leak, solid IPS panel, and g-sync is as great as ever.
You will have to faff with a few older game engines to unlock the framerate to avoid the 60FPS cap, but it's well worth it. If you have a beefy NVidia video card, this is a really good option.

amazing monitor if u can afford it ,i definitely recommend it maybe it has back light bleeding but i dont really noticed it and this problem is with all ips monitors the 144-165 refresh rate is a life changer. 1440p ips is fantastic specially that graphics card arent able to run 4k at 144 refresh rate so Im really satisfied with this resolution and refresh rate . i dont know about g sync thing because u can limit the fps manually but its still a good feature especially for graphics card that are getting less than 60 fps.However for 2x 980ti which i have it not a big deal to get the gsync feature.
Conclusion : if u can afford it u will not be disappointed with it .
-The speakers are not that good :$ they get the job done but u will need external speakers if u r not using headphones.

but am thoroughly satisfied with it
I was somewhat apprehensive about ordering this monitor after hearing horror stories about quality control issues and the so-called 'panel lottery', but am thoroughly satisfied with it.
No dead pixels, good colour uniformity, and the backlight bleed is so minor as to not be an issue. It's visible on a black screen if you're in a dark room and actually looking for it, but is otherwise a non-issue.
Coming from a 60Hz Dell IPS, the G-Sync/165Hz combo is mind-blowing. By far and away the best monitor I've ever had the pleasure of owning.
