I purchased one of these through LG. Then two more through Best Buy. Unfortunately, one of the last pair has a whole vertical line of stuck pixels (a turquoise line). Under normal circumstances, I would just return for a replacement. The catch is, this monitor is almost always out of stock. Two monitors does me no good whatsoever, so not only am I down one, I'm down two - for an indefinite period of time. Otherwise, I am mostly happy with the monitors. Yes, backlight bleed is greater than it should be. Doesn't matter for my situation though.
