My Samsung XL2370 has served me well for 5+ years, so I decided to go for an upgrade. The Asus PG279Q seemed solid (27", 144hz, IPS, 1440p, G-Sync), but still want to give it a shot despite hearing about the quality control issues. Though the backlight issue on my first try is not anywhere as severe as the examples I read about, it was not hard to tell the top right bezel was loose when I sourced the first one. Then I swapped for a 2nd one that appeared to be a lot better initially at first (I asked to open one and power it up before walking out), only to find out the same spot still has issue too when I play with it for real at home.
I'm curious if there is something with similar specs out there that I can get locally. Or should I keep my old monitor just a little longer until something even better comes in the very near future as the only place I can get them has one, may be two left? Many Thanks!
