AORUS AD27QD

Received it yesterday: https://imgur.com/a/VnwXOJA

As you can see on pic 3 and 4, I tried to decrease the brightness and contrast to 35 and 20, tried to change the height of the monitor, checked it from different angles, but unfortunately the light bleed doesn't get any better, not the mention the stuck pixel right in the middle of the screen. Not something you would expect for £500+.

Opinions?

@MikeLoader - yeah but I wanted something with good colours and with acceptable response time/refresh rate in case sometimes I play some FPS online... shame that it is so hard to find a reliable model/product.

@Cooper - thank you, just called them before I saw your comment, they will collect it tomorrow and refund it.
I had a look at LG 850UK 4K IPS, looks nice but 4K would be a bit too high for me on a 27inch monitor. I know I can upscale it in a menu, so everything would look bigger but then I don't see the reason to spend money on 4K.
Also, at the moment I am using an Alienware laptop from 2013 with a GTX 770M graphic card so don't really need more than 2K. What I really liked about AD27QD model that I got 2K and 140Hz refresh rate with a quite good colour gamut and response time. I wish I could get the same model but without this severe bleeding (and without dead pixel of course) or if there is any similar model with the same specs but from a more reliable manufacturer...

I think they must have given me yours if you returned it. I have just RMA'd mine

Yes, I returned it straight away on the following day (they still made me pay for the return). Sorry to see that you got an awful one too... it actually looks exactly like mine, check for a stuck green pixel in the upper middle part of the screen, if you got that too then it was mine... I got a Viewsonic 24' TN panel instead, saved about £300, of course colors can't be compared to the ones an IPS panel has, but somehow this monitor doesn't give me headache/eye strain in 5 minutes
