Acer Predator XB271HU. Possible to get a good one?

Sending back the second one today. First had terrible backlight bleed in the lower right. Second was even worse, practically seemed grey in the dark and had 2 bad pixels close to centre.

I know some people are happy with this screen so good ones must exist. Is it normal to have to run through multiple replacements or is it not possible to get one with no bleed?

nothing wrong with mine.

I've had two over the past 4 months and both have been spot on.

Wish I had their luck.... I bought the Asus and the Acer a few times months apart each time all with different manufacturing dates about 4 of each one and every single one was horrible with either pixels or bleeding. I'd personally recommend that if your not happy with the third do not bother with them anymore, will be a waste of time.

I've just purchased one the other day and unboxed it last night - seems ok. Not played on it yet so not had any OMG it's amazeballs reaction to it - quick question re: g-sync - do you need to set it on the monitor or does it come on by default? I've right clicked on the desktop and went to the nvidia control panel and the g sync box is ticked but do i need to set the monitor as well?
