Mine came on the 11th. Been using it extensively. It has no dead pixel. It has a minor backlight bleed at top right corner (cannot really see it during normal use). You would have to look closely to see the light bleed when that part of the screen is black, so it is not a big deal at all. 1440p 100Hz and G-SYNC works flawlessly. The Witcher 3, Batman Arkham Knight, and Rise of the Tomb Raider look amazing
Last thing I want to point out… the brightness retention is really good. My old 27″ Asus’ screen becomes a lot darker when you look at the monitor slightly from above and a lot brighter when looking from below. This PG348Q’s screen does the same thing but the brightness level barely change when you’re looking at it at an off angle. In another word, the viewing angle of this monitor is a dozen times better.
Sept. 19th, 2016 Update: Monitor is still working fine. Guess I am one of the lucky buyers. Would hate to pack this giant thing up and send it away. Be aware that LG is releasing the 34UC79G-B with better specs and costs much less than this Asus monitor.

|Third times not the charm,
These are beautiful monitors and the OSD menu and controls are definitely the best I’ve seen. I guess I’ll keep sending it back until I get the smallest amount of backlight bleed possible. The one my brother ordered a couple months ago only had an inch or so of backlight bleed in the right side corners. I guess it must be too expensive for ASUS to actually fix whatever manufacturing problems are causing this since they keep sending them out like this. I’m not sure if I’ll give up eventually and try ACER.
And no, lowering the brightness settings has had absolutely no effect on the backlight bleed of these monitors (does it ever?). I’ll update the review if I ever get a better one.
Update #1 (7/24/16):
Well, I’m getting closer I think. I would have honestly kept this one if not for the darker yellow backlight bleed in the upper right side. It was visible even with a bright light on. I’ve included a picture of the monitor.
Update #2 (8/2/16):
I tried editing this a few days ago but it never updated for some reason. But I thought I had finally hit the jackpot and got a good one with acceptable amount of backlight bleed in the right corners and only IPS glow in the left corners. But then I ran into a new problem. On the left side of the screen any page that is white like google or windows explorer would appear yellow-ish, but the right side looked normal. I started googling color uniformity and found an image that looked allot like my problem. Guess where I ended up? It was for a review several pages back for this monitor. So now I have two problems to watch for with replacements. I’ll include a picture of the backlight bleed and yellow-ish color uniformity issue.
Update #3 (8/2/16):
I forgot to re-add to my last update that I’ve been using TFTCentral’s color and brightness settings for this monitor, which look great. But I kept trying to play with the colors and brightness and all I would do is make everything else look worse trying to fix that color uniformity issue. But this update is for monitor #6 (#4 through amazon). The backlight bleed is not the greatest, but I’m honestly starting to care less and less about it since you really have no option with this model. But what is very distracting is the color uniformity issue. With monitor #6 it isn’t as bad on the lower left side, but on the upper left side there is a fairly large area of yellow-ish discoloration. I’ll include a backlight bleed and color uniformity picture.

Hello, I would like to thank you for taking your time in writing this review. We certainly value your feedback. It is unfortunate to hear that your monitor is suffering from back light bleed. Have you tried calibrating your monitor’s brightness settings (ranges from 30-50) to see if that helps with the back light bleed? Also please try this. Go to the OSD MENU -> BLUE LIGHT FEATURES: mode to Level 4 .Sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. We are doing our best quality control for this model. Every NEW PG279Q sold in North America must now pass a visual inspection in a darkened environment before it’s shipped to a vendor. This will help with the back light bleed issues. What was the date of manufacturing of your monitors? We have an exchange program for these monitors. If your unit qualifies, we might be able to do an exchange for you. If you have any questions, you contact me at cl-justin@asus.com, I’m here to assist our customers with our products and dedicated in bringing a resolution to all issues that they may come across.
