I just received this monitor on Saturday via Amazon. May '15 batch. I'd been debating ordering it for the last 2 weeks due to the insane amount of QC issues people have been having, but with some people saying the May production had improved considerably I decided to roll the dice. All I can say is WOW! I'm completely blown away by how smooth and gorgeous this display is. 144hz and gsync feels like the single biggest upgrade I've ever made to my pc. Combined with my 980ti, I'm in gaming heaven right now. I'm finding myself going through my entire library and playing things I haven't touched in months just because it all feels so different at this framerate and with no screen tearing.
The monitor itself is nearly perfect from a qc standpoint. 0 dead pixels. Very minor bleed in the bottom right(far less than my LG 34um95). The light bleed actually seems to be lessening as I use it more. I suppose I could be imagining it, but a few other people on various forums have been saying that their light bleed issues have been lessening as the monitor gets broken in /shrug. Overall I'm absolutely thrilled with this thing. I owned the Asus Rog Swift for about 2 days a few months ago and ended up returning it because I just couldn't go back to a TN panel after using the LG for so long. This thing is truly the best of both worlds. I tried to hold out for the Asus version of this panel, but with no concrete date and price I just couldn't do it. I'm glad I pulled the trigger on the Acer. Absolutely amazing monitor.
