I ordered this exact monitor on March 11th.

The first 3 monitors had dead pixels(funny thing is it got progressively worse with each monitor. 1 pixel, 3 dead pixels then 6 dead on the third).

Started the RMA process for the third monitor this morning, will be getting the 4th monitor probably in 2 weeks (when they get around to shipping it). All in all pretty disappointing, they even assured me that they would be contacting the warehouse to make sure the monitor is quality checked before it ships. That clearly didn't happen.

I will say that they keep sending me monitors so props to them for attempting to fix the situation, but the quality control on these are pretty damn bad it seems.
Mine came today, I've been use it since the morning and I'm pretty pleased. I wasn't aware that it has two dead pixels until I started to read the comments section on this post but tbh I only notice it while doing the dead pixel test, it's like less than 1 millimeter two black spots that you can barely notice. I rather have it and use it than send it back, wait for terrible customer service, and probably getting the same problem or worse or even lose my money trying to get another.
Just Google "dead pixel test" and full screen it. They are pretty easy to spot on an all white screen

Almost tempted to get this over the 27" I am looking for. To bad I want it for a vertical monitor, 32" is just too big

Would I suffer from this if I come from a 27 inch 4k monitor? I need more space.

Is there a test to check for dead pixels or are they blatantly obvious? Second guessing this monitor now that I read this comment.

How do you all think I would fair with my rtx 3060ti fe and i7 10th gen and 32 gb of ddr4? I know other things very as well but I'm just curious of a ballpark estimate. Thank you 🙏. medium setting and below can always be a thing I suppose...

no, I'm doing that, coming from 2x 27 4k to 2x 32 1440p, because I run the 4k monitors at 150% zoom for school and work stuff, I'd rather them be bigger and be able to read better

Your not concerned about it being flat and not curved?
