I'm four months in on mine and it's still working like a champ. Not sure if I will eventually run into issues, but I'll be sure to post an update if anything happens.

I just got a second PG278Q and got a flawless panel! I was worried since my other one has several dead pixels. This one's gamma is also perfect out of the box. The first one was like 1.6.
Starting to get pissed off. I'm on my third ROG Swift. All of them have developed the blurry text problem eventually. It's simply a defective product. It does not work to spec. This monitor should be pulled from the market. It doesn't work!
$800 to have to go through a 1 month RMA process every 3 months. Worst monitor I've ever bought. This will be my last Asus product.
Oh, and their fucking RMA site isn't working right now. What a great customer experience (geezus).
Sorry to hear it. From what I've heard since they are not oos immediately anymore the RMA turnaround is about a week, and they have a 3 year warranty.
I don't think it would be in asus' insterest to replace monitors 4, 6, or up to 9 - 12 times worst case over the warranty period so hopefully they will get a handle on what is happening to some of them and fix it.
Knock on wood mine has been solid since october 28th 2014 - but posts like these make me hope I'm not on a ticking time bomb.
It makes me laugh that some people are so naive that they honestly think their monitor isn't going to die on them. The design is flawed. They overheat. Every one of these monitors is a ticking time bomb and will fail. Do not buy this monitor. Go with the Acer IPS.
You'll have to "escalate" your complaint if you want to try to get a refund. They won't just give you one. I'm trying that right now. I'll let you know how it goes. If they don't do it, I think I'm just going to take them to small claims court to get my money back.

Do you live in the Sahara?
making broad-stroke statements like these... now that's naive.
At this price margin, I will purchase an extra pixel warranty anyway, any dead pixel and I can send it away and get a new one no qeustions asked. Its the other things that concern me.I have two. It's safe to buy. The only real "problems" are dead pixels and gamma, and the gamma is by design I presume. They have a zero bright pixel policy.

Anyone know the measurements from the back of the ''foot/stand'' up till the front where the screen is? I need to know this so I can determine how far I can sit from this screen's 27'' size, and how far I can place the monitor to the back untill the stand blocks the wall on my desk.
The stand of my BenQ XL2420G seems to be around the same I think, but I have it leaning slightly over my desk to the back of the wall by 1.5 inches or so, and my desk has a reach of around 27 inches. Not sure how accurate I measured, but I converted it from centimeters wich I normally use. I think if I sit with my regular posture with my back to the chair, from my chest to the screen its anywhere from 28 - 29 max 30 inches depending on posture give or take.Around 9.5 inches. The ports are very high up, so you can even remove the stand completely and rest the screen against the wall with the bottom touching the table top.

Eventhough I'm interested in a 27'' screen, I'm not sure yet wheter the distance I sit from qualifies for upgrading from a 24'' I currently have at 1080p. I was using a temporary 19 inch because my monitor went kaput, when I got a 24'', it seemed very large, too large. Now it seems so damn small, LOL!
Using DSR to 1440p on my current 24'' makes text extremely small, but I'm assuming that is not representative of how it actually looks?It needs to be closer not farther. I upgraded from a XL2420T which was at arm's length away from me. With the PG278Q's higher PPI text is too small to read without straining on many websites. A 27" 1440p monitor needs to be significantly closer to maintain the same text size as a 24" 1080p.
The productivity increase from the massive desktop space increase alone is worth it. Everything right from applications to websites are far easier to use and not cramped like on 1080p.

With your old XL2420T, how would you compare 1440p 2xAA with 1080p 4xAA? The higher resolution and perfomance loss should compensate for allowing less AA yes?
Seems weird as hell how a few months ago I was swearing 1080p to be more then enough, but then in Far Cry 4 1080p now looks incredibly crappy without a shit ton of AA. Well tbh, 1080p still does look good, but things such as vegetation looks really ugly and pixelated.

Where were TFTCentral's recommended settings again? I'm having trouble finding them on their test.
