Question Hair-like particle under my monitor screen, should I be worried ?

[taimoorali007]

Hello guys. Hope this thread finds you well. I recently bought an AOC 24G2SP monitor which then I noticed after unboxing it that on the top-right edge there not a dead pixel but hair-like filament of about 0.4mm trapped inside the front panel of the IPS and I made sure this is not over the screen dust or something. Now this isn't bugging me now that my mind knows where it is my eyes can spot it easily but in games and videos
you can forget where it was.

My concern it as it was new and unless some major issue, warranty wont be claim, at least in an easy way but if I force they will take and open my panel and I am sure they will make things worse. So what is it, a horrible QC, manufacturing defect or something that wont aggravate in later months.

if the manufacturer is giving you grief about a replacement vs repair;
if you purchased this new recently then just return it to the retailer for a full refund.

if you haven't contacted manufacturer support yet, then do that and see what they're offering.

That "defect" is basically invisible. I'd ignore it.

But if you're up for all the hassle involving returning, waiting and getting a new monitor,
then sure - go for it.

They say its hair trapped while assembling. But as screen isnt damaged itself. We can only claim warranty which means repairing it via third party as retailer gave his own warranty for the panel. As far as return and refund, we dont have that perks in our country. There is not centralized distributions and tech support for any brands regarding gaming pc. So just a gamble for just this itch. If there was any issue regarding panel display and pixel thing I would’ve taken that step.
