Review on Upgrade Your Viewing Experience with SAMSUNG 2560X1440 Adjustable FreeSync LS27AG500PNXZA - 2,560X1,440P, 165Hz, High Dynamic Range, HD by Duane Moorehead

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible backlight/dead pixels

Received the item and noticed a horrible backlight glow (possibly IPS glow?) in the lower left corner. Light was visible around the edges of the panel as expected, however the bottom left side was very dim and noticeable in gaming while other corners were fine. See picture for reference. There is also a dead pixel on the left side of the screen. Comes from an Asus ROG Swift (PG279Q) that didn't have any of these issues. Revain has processed the replacement so this review will be updated once the replacement arrives. Update: A second monitor has arrived and is having the same backlight bleeding issue (but no dead pixels). We ended up returning both for a refund as the quality control seems to be poor.

Pros
  • good soup
Cons
  • Nice monitor but they lied and said it was a 4k gaming monitor.
