I am somewhat curious about one thing.
Can the waves that move rapidly down on the screen constantly when brightness is below 100% be a error that has something to do with the refresh rate on the screen?

I'd defer to the technician actually working on the unit when/if you send it in, but it sounds to me like an issue with the inverter.

Honestly, from what I've read here, I think the "problems" you mention with all of the laptops after the ones with the dead pixels weren't necessarily defective, but just the way it is with the G75 display when combined with the NVidia drivers.
I have the same faint horizontal black lines on certain games/images that have dark colors, and my understanding is that's a widespread report that many people have made. It may be an issue with the panels that are being used for the G75, an issue with the Nvidia drivers, or some combination of both.
Does it bother me personally? I notice it, but only at very specific shades of color and not on blacks, so I personally can live with it just fine. Most of the time I don't even notice it, and when I do, it certainly doesn't degrade my appreciation for the system I have. This issue also does not happen when outputting over HDMI to another device/panel which leads me to believe it's with the panel in some way, but consistent across all panels so not something that will be remedied by getting a new/different system from ASUS or complaining about it.
I think some people have considered going out and buying a different panel altogether and installing it themselves and that's likely a potential fix, but I personally can live with it as is. It really has not hampered my enjoyment or appreciation for the power/performance of this system and I don't think it reflects on ASUS at all. They went about building a laptop and chose a specific display panel for their build. They paired it with a decent motherboard, GPU, CPU, RAM, etc, and expected it to work - which it does. If the defect is consistent across all of these panels, it's a panel problem (which is not made by ASUS), and therefore not something for which I feel they should be held accountable.
Would I appreciate if ASUS pushed this with their panel provider and identified a systemic panel problem across the line and offered panel replacement? Sure, but I'd want them to ship me the panel so I could do it myself to not be without my system for any period of time.
I can certainly understand the frustration after going through so many laptops, and I'd have the same issue with dead/stuck pixels, but the complaints about the horizontal lines I think is just something us G75 owners generally come to accept. As I said, in my normal usage I very rarely notice it which might just say more about my eyesight than anything, but hey, I am still very happy with my decision to get the G75.

No, to this day I am finding new problems with the G75 units in terms of the screen on both ROG forums and Notebook Review Forums. From flickering (most common), dimming on the bottom 1/4 of the screen, to entire blocks displaying nothing.
I myself have encountered a really odd screen problem for my G75VW-DS72 that no one else seems to have. My screen flickers every 40 seconds or so when I'm playing Faster Than Light on Battery mode. Running regular applications/other games does not cause this problem to occur. Updating graphic drivers and uninstalling Power4Gear also does nothing.
It's not crucial, but it's a minor annoyance mostly due to the fact that I have no idea what the hell is causing it.
