I loved the image quality and feature set of this monitor. Mine came without dead pixels or significant backlight bleed. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the mainboard and it could not exceed 100hz. Neither Acer nor Best Buy could send me a replacement. Acer's only solution was to have me ship it out to Texas and get it repaired. I would have been without a monitor for 1 month so I decided against it and returned the thing.
