I have one (black) dead pixel and I notice two darker spots which are probably dust inside the panel. Not super noticeable and not enough to turn me off of the monitor, but slightly annoying nonetheless. Almost no backlight bleed at all though, so great job in that respect. I do have a few other complaints, which is that with the included display port cable and my RX 480, I get severe flashing and display corruption whenever doing something which changes the screen a lot, like scrolling. This occurred under both Windows and Fedora Linux so it isn't a driver issue. It works fine with HDMI so I may need to get another DP cable off of Amazon to troubleshoot.
The monitor menu is simply awful. The button below the left arrow makes it go right, the button below the right arrow makes it go left, it's insane.
The speakers on the back of the monitor aren't worth anything. The cheapest set of actual speakers will do far better.
Again, apart from the DP flashing issue those aren't major complaints, and otherwise I'm liking the monitor so far. But, the DP issue is kind of serious. Not a great out of the box experience even though it works great with my HDMI cable.
edit: waking up from sleep doesn't work automatically w/ HDMI, I have to hit a button on the monitor whereas normally hitting the keyboard should work
edit: changing the DP mode to 1.1 as someone else suggested did work without flashing or any other noticable issues.
