I received mine today, and I am terribly disappointed in the quality.
First, the bezel and frame don't fit together in several places and the bezel appears to be barely held in place by a band of something like tape. On the bottom, next to both the left and right corners, the part of the side bezel that wraps around is pulling away from the frame and leaves a gap. The right one is so egregious that it is very noticeable from the front. Also, in the middle of the bottom, there is a very noticeable gap. Ironically, there is an inspection sticker pasted right next to the gap over an ugly seam that doesn't fit together well.
Second, the bottom of the screen and especially the bottom bezel of the monitor get extremely warm. It was almost painfully hot at the default brightness setting of 80%, and it is still uncomfortably warm at 60%, which is the lowest I can tolerate in my environment.
Third, there is a very noticeable shadow in the lighting around the left, right, and bottom edges of the screen. This shadow extends about half an inch into the screen and is very annoying. The top edge does not have this defect.
Finally, I have found 7 pixel defects in just a 60-second examination. There is a bright red pixel (normally I would think subpixel, but this looks too large and is bleeding red into the area around it, so I'm not sure what exactly is going on other than it being very noticeable) in the top-middle of the screen that is impossible to ignore, a completely dead pixel in the lower-left, and at least 5 dark subpixels around the screen.
So much for being able to recommend this if it becomes available again.

CortillaenDid anyone contacted you for replacement or you are still waiting for response? And do you have other problems like dead or stuck pixels or heat?

Joe_mad_badI got a response, but it was basically just telling me there would be no real response until Monday.
And yes, I have multiple pixel problems (one stuck on red, one dead, and a bunch of dark subpixels) and the bottom of the monitor gets very hot even at low brightness settings.
In addition, I've now had problems with the monitor going black during games, but I need to test out a different cable before I blame the monitor. Of course, the cable is the one provided with the monitor, so a problem with the cable is just another problem with this product in general.

CortillaenSo even if the frame problem gone and they replaced it , wouldn’t you recommend it for me Because of the dead and stuck pixels? And the heat?

Joe_mad_badIt's hard for me to say based on just the one I got. It's possible mine is an exception that somehow slipped through QA. However, the gaps and misfits in the frame are severe enough for me to wonder if the manufacturing process is substandard, and the heat issue seems to be pretty common among other people. As for pixel defects, there are enough people complaining of them to seem like a pattern. Taken as a whole, I simply cannot advise this product unless we have a demonstration of improved standards.

CortillaenOn the final picture I'd raise hell if I saw that finish on mine. I can only see a gap between the back panel and the bumped out area where the glossy panel covers. There I do see some of the board but the monitor performs well so far and nobody sees that area so I'm not going to complain.
