Monitor came in Yesterday. Loving it so far. No dead pixels and the back light bleed is pretty standard for an IPS (so not that bad at all). I'm impressed with the quality of the build and the stand is not bad either. Played a few games on it and so far no ghosting or input lag. Very happy with my purchase.
Here's a picture of the black light bleed with brightness turned all the way up in a pitch black room.
