Who makes the panel for ViewSonic XG2703

Does AOC make the panels for ViewSonic's XG2703? It's 1440p at 165Hz IPS. Asus and Acer have the same spec'ed monitors. Strangely, ViewSonic's monitors seem to be higher quality than the other two according to online buyer reviews. I saw horror stories of people returning multiple Asus monitors with dead pixels and too much bleed. I thought AOC made all IPS monitors with this spec.

I think you mean AU Optronics (AUO). Yes, they make the panel.

The quality control of the monitor vendor plays a part in the chance of defects, not just the panel manufacturer. If ASUS and ViewSonic both order 100 of the same panel, and 60 of them are bad, they can choose to reject those panels or build them into monitors and sell them. If one company chooses to reject them and only use the best panels, their end users will experience a lower defect rate, but the cost of that will be that they can only make 40 of them instead of 100, so supply is lower, which means (if demand is too great) the price will be higher.

You'd think it wouldn't be worth it to release low quality product. I would think you pay more in returns and bad reputation than make in selling a few extra monitors. Guess not. In 2018, I still see horrible reviews from people on Amazon.
