Potentially great monitor ruined by horrible QC
Either I'm the unluckiest person in the world or most buyers of this monitor simply don't care about horrible backlight uniformity across the screen. I expect "hotspots" in the corners and generally imperfect blacks, but the two monitors I've received so far are unacceptably bad for a product >$600. It's a shame because otherwise the display seems to be as advertised, very sharp picture quality with great motion handling. I just can't view any scene that's even a little dark and not notice the horrible splotches of flashlighting. I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do with the second one, but I know I can't keep it either.
Edit: I added a third picture where I turned the brightness way down, stepped back a few feet, and took a picture of it next to another IPS monitor that's over 10 years old.
