MedionHi Medion,
Thank-you for the comment. The NX-EDG27 has been in development since before we shipped our 24" version back in 2015. AMD knew this and some industry insiders know we have been developing this monitor for a long time. One of the reasons why we never shipped the NX-EDG27 earlier is like you stated, due to issues that end users and community members reported regarding the panel - I am a pretty active community member myself so I am pretty aware.
We waited until the panel yields and manufacturing matured for the panel for these 3 main reasons:
1) To minimize the issues end users have reported regarding the panel. We are a smaller American company/brand vs other monitor vendors - so we can't risk higher than industry average RMA rates. 2) To make the FreeSync range 30hz to 144Hz and to ensure the monitor meets AMD's new stricter FreeSync Certification requirements. 3) To develop an implementation of the panel to minimize back light bleeding.
The trade off is that we are not the first to ship a monitor that use this panel type and also the monitor's bezel is not going to be thin or not a "bezel-less type design." The development of this monitor is an accumulation of ensuring we ship a good product and addressing community feed back.
Thank-you to all the helpful community members and I appreciate your feedback!
Best Regards,
Peter

MedionHi Medion,
I always appreciate your interactions and feedback along with all the other helpful community members too. I don't think glossy panels are available yet, but if they are or if we find any we will definitely take a look at them.

nixeusHi Peter,
Just to clarify: by back light bleeding, are you referring to the heavy orange-ish glow that is usually most prominent near the corners of the panel? I'm a bit mixed up with all the terminology like backlight bleed, IPS glow, AHVA glow, etc.
Thanks!

nixeus I have waited for 2 years for maturity of this panel. Returned 4 monitors (3 asus, 1 acer).
I am still interested in it, however 4k@144Hz is scheduled for 2H of 2017(with in all likelihood another 2 years of maturity).
My questions to Nixeus are:
1. Will you submit this monitor for review to http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/
2. Are all pixel transitions on 60Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz meet timing requirement with no overshoot like on Acer XB270HU
Edit: Corrected model number.

TheUNDERTAKERSeconded on tftcentral. hmmm That acer is a TN. Most AHVA panels have overshoot issues if they are using extreme overdrive settings to achieve 1ms or low G2G response times. It would not be abnormal for this ahva panel to have some overshooting as well if you end up using the high settings for overdrive.

EVGA446Good catch. I'm not surprised that no one noticed for all this time. I was referring to XB270HU not HB270HU. HB270HU does not exist). Panel: 27"WS AU Optronics AHVA (M270DAN02.3).
I'll edit the post to correct that error.

While advertised as IPS, they are actually using an AU Optronics made AHVA (advanced hyper viewing angle) panel. This uses IPS-like technology but isn't called IPS due to trademarks held by LG/Sharp.
These panels are known for inconsistent quality and a higher rate of defects relative to IPS and PLS panels.
