Amazon replaced the first monitor and had it delivered within the next day. 5/5 for the customer service from Amazon's part. The new monitor is almost perfect, but nothing to complain about. There's no horrific backlight bleed like the first monitor. There's a small spot in the top right corner, but its not really noticeable once you adjust the settings. Can't complain.
Besides that monitor itself is AMAZING. Everything is buttery smooth (165hz overclock) and the colors pop. Definitely worth the price, but don't settle if you get a bad/poor piece. Tell Amazon if you get a bad one and I'm sure they'll take care of you.
Also, the packaging was minimal, but effective. The monitor came in fully assembled and ready to go.
League of legends picture is the 2nd replacement monitor. The backlight bleed picture is the first monitor.

*1/5 stars*
I went in expecting some levels of back light bleed, but what I got from my monitor were levels that I couldn't just overlook. The top left corner seemed ok, but the right top + right bottom corners had this horrible back light bleed that left a yellowish glow. Once you saw it you would just keep noticing it. I have a dark wall paper, so every time I'm on the windows desktop I would just glare at me.
As for the monitor while gaming, its beautiful and overclocks like a charm! Coming from a 60hz 1080p monitor, this was a big step up. For the price it's a great IPS monitor (if you can get one with little or no BLB).
Test out the monitor once you receive it and before you set it all up. Hopefully you will get a good one. May the odds be in your favor!
I have requested a replacement for the monitor. Hoping that the next one will be better. I will update the review once the new one arrives.

After extensive research, only three 27-inch IPS 2K 165 Hz G-Sync monitors were found with two from ASUS and one from ACER. All had reviews showing quality problems including bad pixels and light bleed at the edges and corners. ASUS monitors had slightly better reviews than the ACER monitor. Also I have good experience with a 24-inch ASUS NT monitor. The ASUS PG279QZ has exactly the same manufacturer's specifications as the more expensive PG279Q.
Taking somewhat of a risk, the PG279QZ was purchased from Amazon.com, the only seller. So far, about a month, the monitor has performed beyond all expectations. It worked perfectly out of the box but it took some time to get it set to my exact requirements. The tiny joystick on the back of the right edge of the monitor allows quick access to almost all of the settings. There is no screen light bleeding visible in normal room light. All the bazillion pixel work. Black is black (or black enough). The speakers are not used.
The ASUS PG279QZ does all one can ask from a monitor. This monitor replaces a venerable Samsung 24 inch NT 75Hz HD monitor and the difference is a amazing. The colors are much more accurate (and prettier) and the large size easily allows viewing of multiple fairly large windows simultaneously. The monitor is used mostly for home office work and e-mail but also lots of picture and some video processing. It is also used for some gaming. It does all of these tasks very well. The monitor construction is quite sturdy. It does not wiggle on its very adjustable base.
Pros: I've only used it for gaming and I'm not a professional editor or anything like that, but in my opinion the picture quality is simply gorgeous. 1440p at 27" is the perfect pixel density, with decently thin bezels. 144Hz is a complete game changer not only in gaming, but even just general use. You notice an improvement even in just moving the mouse around while browsing the internet. I've experience no visual lag whatsoever with GSYNC enabled while gaming. The OSD is very nice to use, and has plenty of options (including turning off those red lights first thing). The stand is sturdy, easy to adjust, and very high quality.
Cons: As with all IPS displays, there is definitely some backlight bleed, but it's only visible in extreme dark situations. I don't notice any non-uniformity in the backlight bleed so far, but I know some other reviewers have mentioned their panels having some, especially in the corners. Also, personally I wish the stand was slightly less "gamer," but it's already more minimalist than the Acer one is. Lastly, of course, the price. At $600 after tax, it's a very expensive display, with other 27" 1440p 144Hz monitors going for as low as $350.
Overall, with the PG279QZ, you're paying a premium price for a premium monitor, one of the best you can get on the market right now, and in my opinion the perfect sweet spot for gaming.
Top reviews from other countries
This monitor is, without a doubt, THE best 27" 1440p 144hz 1ms IPS monitor with G-Sync right now.
The picture quality is gorgeous.
The bezels are thin.
The built-in speaker is a plus.
Native G-Sync ready.
Logo on the foot of the stand and the ring at the neck of the base can light up red when turned on in settings.
Fully adjustable stand.
Has built-in crosshair feature for FPS games (although, some may consider it "cheating")
What I dislike:
I had a very big headache with Amazon and the courier trying to order a proper replacement.
I had to order 3 replacements (4 total monitors).
Only 1 out of the 4 monitors had minimal, bearable backlight bleeding.
Price is hefty, but expected, given the quality of the monitor.
Solo tuve un detalle con la conexión a la corriente eléctrica donde el monitor no encendía constantemente después de unos minutos apagado.
Pero con un reemplazo se soluciono el problema, en dicho reemplazo note que la imagen era mejor en uno de los monitores(considerablemente) así que verifiquen cuando ordenen si pueden contra otro monitor etc para que su panel tenga la calidad de imagen correcta.
En mi caso el panel se veía “bien” pero tenia un brillo mas bajo con las mismas configuraciones que el reemplazo.
Después de todo esto el monitor excelente y sin quejas, las bocinas son algo decentes si no buscas gran calidad de audio, pero sacan de un problema o si quieres volumen bajo de fondo.
No dead pixels, but there is some back light bleed, I don't find it that noticeable though.
Mine came with almost 0 ips glow or back light bleed. It looks fantastic in a dark room. It looks fantastic in a bright room. It looks fantastic everything, always.
Nothing more needs to be said.
P.S. In case amazing is being silly, this was the PG279QZ.
