I recently bough a new monitor acer ka242y 24" Full HD. But i found three pixels that are different color than other ones. (They are not white or black so i am sure they're not dead.) Can it be fixed? Should i try popular methods like rubbing the surface of the pixels with rubber and play youtube videos for stuck pixels? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Edit: Stuck pixels are yellow and purple.

Unless the monitor is sold as "perfect pixel" some small number of dead/stuck pixels are considered as normal and not a reason for warranty replacement.
If the bad pixels are in the center of the viewing area, they may be cause for a return.
Monitors, these days are usually perfect.
I think I would try to return the unit if the issue bothers you.

I am a big minimalist. I want a clear monitor with perfect pixels.
