Backlight bleeding and IPS glow
Noticeable backlight bleeding and IPS glow occur, especially in the corners, when displaying dark content in a dimly lit room. This can be distracting in dark scenes but typically does not affect everyday use.
Wobbly, non-adjustable stand
The included stand is wobbly and lacks height, swivel, and tilt adjustments. Users needing ergonomic positioning should plan for a VESA mount replacement.
Dead or stuck pixels
A minority of units ship with dead or stuck pixels. While not widespread, this defect usually requires a return or exchange as it is distracting during normal use.
