Asus Rog Swift PG278Q Dead Pixels

[Trey5537]

Hi Forum,

I bought the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q yesterday and the monitor is impressive so far. However, I have noticed I have one dead pixel in the center on the screen. The dead pixel is only noticeable when on black backdrop/screens. The pixel is a sliver/white color.

Has anyone else had a similar issue with the PG278Q? I am thinking to return the monitor for a replacement. Like I said, the dead pixel is only noticeable on black screens, but I expect near perfection for a $840 (with tax) monitor. Has anyone else experienced dead pixels with this monitor?

Thanks,

Trey

Even if someone has they will just tell you to replace it as its the only viable option

I'm fully aware of the replacement being the only option. I haven't read much written on other people having the same issue with this monitor, hints the reason I posted the question in this forum. Anyone else experienced dead pixel with this monitor?

Thought I would update my original post. I've had the PG278Q for almost a year now and the dead pixel issue hasn't gotten worse. Still one dead pixel that is BARELY noticeable. All-in-all I am VERY pleased with the purchase.
