I have no backlight bleeding on my copy. In general, I could not detect any quality problems (pixels, dust inclusions, etc.).
Of course, I don't know if this was a stroke of luck or if it is now generally the case.

I have noticed on my copy that there is a vertical line in the middle of the screen with overlapping of the image. It seems to be a problem that has been known since the beginning of the year but cannot be fixed by myself (see link: community.acer.com/t5/Preda...). Actually a pity... Otherwise it would be a top monitor...
