So many monitors now include a EULA which you must accept to use, according them them - so you can always return if it has the up to x dead-pixels mean the monitor is working properly clause, and tell them you don't agree with their EULA. Heck, even at $100, it should be fine if new ( otherwise I consider it DOA ). I don't care if I spend $200 or more on a monitor, 0 pixels should be dead. For what I do, a single pixel being off can mean not more than an annoyance for coding, or a larger problem when doing image editing - ie say the pixel is meant to be black, and I see it as black because of a dead pixel but it is actually green or white or some other color which can be seen on the final image - and I don't see it through all iterations - that is a huge problem. I wouldn't be bothered if the pixels were at ( 0, 0 ), ( 0, h - 1 ), ( w - 1, 0 ) or ( w - 1, y - 1 ) but they'd be noticed - anywhere else on the screen and they become too apparent for me to consider the monitor useful. Or another tool which can't scratch the screen ) where the pixel is to revive it. You can often massage the screen ( smudges, but if you use your fingernail you should be able to get away with no smudges However, not all pixels which appear dead, are dead. I can see the lightest smears on a screen, along with smaller-than-pixel-sized-fly-droppings-or-whatever-they-are ( nasty ) on others monitors, so a dead pixel is quite annoying. I'm short sighted meaning a monitor is incredibly clear but something further out isn't. I wouldn't be able to tolerate ANY stuck pixels. Your luck with getting a defect free monitor goes kind of exponentially up the less you pay for a monitor and the more far you get from these borked poor quality 100Hz+ "native advertised" panels As in if you get defects within warranty on a 0 pixel defects monitor you get a replacement, not just some initial after sale thingy which at least in EU is 14 days return no questions asked, by law. HP Z line is 0 defects, Philips has that on some, don't remember other, you always gotta check. XV272U etc.Ĭertain monitor ranges from some manufacturers do have 0 pixel policy but on the 144Hz+ panels I think all of those fall into regular trash monitor ranges for them. Wait for Innolux based monitors of better specs, they are already sold in Asia, Q1 in EU should be. 850G has issues but to some they are acceptable. The only sensible 144Hz monitor and panel I know of is LG 32GK850F/650F, PX329. Dead pixels, dust, scratches, endless BLB due to misdesigned frame mounting, some panels suffer from excessive BLB, some from poor viewing angles, almost all suffer from one side is warm other side is cold, the list is endless for M270DAN2.x. PG279Q is one of the main horror stories of AUO M270DAN2.x based monitors, expect to have to lottery around 10 to get something decent if ever. What are my other g-sync/1440p/144hz options? ASUS has the pg278 I believe, which is TN, but I have little confidence now. I decided to go the local route from microcenter, just in case that one had dead pixels I could return/test replacements easier. Having noticed dead pixels on that one, I arranged for a return. I had initially bought an HP omen off amazon which is TN, but for the price was a great monitor. What are your thoughts? Is this just my OCD? theyre absolutely barely detectable, but its the fact that I know theyre there it just drives me a up a wall. In my mind, for what these cost, it should be ZERO pixel defects. Ive had dozens of stuck pixels in each monitor. but from what Im now seeing, asus really screwed the pooch on QC on these didnt they? I think Im just trying too hard to like it. Its an awesome monitor, 1440p, IPS, 144hz. Ive tried to look at all of them in the store before I walk out of there and notice something at home. So, I have been through FOUR of these monitors from the local microcenter so far, praying Id get a good one.
