Stuck/dead pixels on new monitor?

[Treeroy]

I have just bought a new Asus MG278Q and after using it for a day I have noticed some stuck/dead pixels.

- 1 red pixel
- 1 black pixel
- 1 black pixel
- 2 black pixels next to each other

There may be others that i have not spotted yet too.

Are the black pixels dead or stuck? This is a TN panel and I read that dead pixels on TNs are white.

And is it normal to have so many pixels like this? I know the panel has like 4 million pixels but even so, this does not seem right. My old monitor was junk and it never had any dead pixels... this panel seems to have like 5 right out of the box. And this is a very nice expensive piece of kit.

I have tried various techniques to get rid of stuck pixels (tapping, flashing colours) nothing works.

Any ideas?

check with asus on their warranty to do with the number of stuck\dead pixels as usually between 3 to 5.
