PG278Q dead pixels

[cniedzi]

Few days ago I've bought brand new ASUS PG278Q ROG SWIFT monitor, but unfortunatelly it has few (ca. 5-10) very small
bright shining points visible on black background. They were hard to see at normal conditions, but from very close distance
one could see them. I have returned the monitor back to seller and I requested money back. I have decided to buy a monitor
from another brand because even only one dead pixel, not to mention such amount of brigh-dead pixels, is not acceptable for
me, especially when we're talking about this class product (I own matherboard, graphics & sound card from ROG line). But...
I like this ROG SWIFT very much and when the excitement wore off I have decided to give another chance to ROG SWIFT
purchase. So is it normal to be so many bright pixels or it got to be extremely defective one piece? I would like to
stress, the pixels were very small, normally hard to see and therefore visible from close distance, but - from other hand - they should be very small due to high resolution...

Do you have bright dead pixels?

I have 2 so far.. but its hard to see it if your not close on the monitor. but if I lean close up on it and scan thoroughly on the area I can see a tiny bright pixel.

On the 1080p Asus 144hz VG248Qe its easy to notice the dead pixel.

My first ROG SWIFT had the symptoms you are describing, 1 bright spot very easily seen on a black background and a dead pixel in the middle of it. It is not normal, I returned my and my replacement ROG SWIFT is picture perfect.

You know how you say you can easily spot it if you had a black background? Well on mine I cant see it when I'm using on a black background.

Cause on this fourm site, I cant see the bright pixel on the screen.

On the faulty monitor you could see it on a black background, the bright spot looked like a water mark and the dead pixel was a yellow color. You could also see it when the PC was turned off but the monitor was turned on, however in that case you just saw the water mark spot. I wish I took a photo of it, its hard to describe.

Second ROG Swift had also few bright dead pixels. I gave up and bought Iiyama. It appears Asus is not ready to made WQHD monitors .... Maybe in the future.

I have one dead pixel so far (blue spot on black background). Will Asus and/or the dealer exchange the monitor?
