[SOLVED] Will this cause more dead pixel?

[shaksadirimon]

So I am trying to buy this LG27GL650F 144Hz 27 inch monitor from a guy. His little brother broke the monitor with a toy as u can see in the picture and that caused dead pixels on the left side. So my question is will this cause more dead pixels in the future? and is it fixable? TIA

Fixable?
No.

Unless this is selling for $10, and you can live with the bad part as it is....walk away.
It won't get any better, only maybe worse.

Its entirely possible for the damage to get worse over time, but most dont keep using damaged hardware so there isnt much out there about it.
Fixable? Most likely no, it would end up costing more than a new monitor.

How much are they asking for it? If it was anything more than "essentially free" hard pass.

He is asking 50$ for this. He told me that he is using the monitor like this for 2 months and no new dead pixel showed up. I badly need a 2nd monitor and this little broken part really doesn't bother me and I can just resize the monitor with nvidia control panel but if the deadpixels spread in the future that's gonna be a problem tho.

Personally, I wouldnt pay 50 bucks for a broken monitor.
If you desperately need a second monitor you could look at it as a 50 dollar investment "renting" one until you can get a working monitor.

I would rather save the money, and spend about 100-150 bucks on a more modestly specced, new, second monitor. Whether that be a 24" or 27", etc.
Whats your use case for the second monitor? If a broken screen dosent bother you, then you wouldnt need a 144Hz monitor.
