I don't see it listed anywhere how many dead/stuck pixels they allow for out of the box before they offer a replacement panel. That's the one main downside I could see to getting this panel with those specs at $400 vs some other equivalent (Acer XF270HU for example) for around $500. Sometimes the more "unknown" brands will be using the panels from the same factories as the more expensive models, and will be using the ones with a dead pixel or two that didn't pass for the more expensive monitors. Which is fine, of course, as long as the dead/stuck pixel policy is stated up front.
On the drop page, it just says: "If any malfunctions occur, it’s backed by a three-year limited manufacturer’s warranty, too."
BUT, on their website, they have the following listed, although I'm not 100% sure if it applies to this monitor in particular or to another model:
" • Having up to 3 Bright, 3 Colored (Stuck), or 5 Dark Pixel anomalies is considered normal and the monitor is not defective. Warranty serviced monitors and RMA replacement parts may still consist of these allowed pixel anomalies. Monitor is defective if it contains MORE than the above stated allowed pixel anomalies. "
5 dead pixels would be a lot for me, or 3 colored/bright/stuck pixels. My 27" 1440p has one stuck blue pixel right now, and while I don't notice on bright screens, I see it every time there's a dark screen, especially in low-light movie scenes. So, I really feel that the dead pixel policy should be clear up front, whether they're allowing for no dead/stuck pixels, or 5, or whatever. It may not bother some folks, but having it stated up front would save a lot of headache for those who it would bother, and for people handling returns/support.

PizzaNade5 dead pixels are normal these days? I will stick to my "8 Years 0 Dead pixels and counting" Dell Ultrasharp U2411 for few more years then.

synchroQuality controls on monitors have dropped in a way you can't imagine, i have no idea why but apparently unless you spend hundreds and hundreds on a monitor, picking defective ones gets way too easy. Don't even get me started on IPS models, backlight bleed.....black problems.....so many defective units

PizzaNadeIt'd be nice if a rep. could respond to this. I don't wanna risk dead pixels, and be told it's normal.

PizzaNadeIf I understand correctly by looking at their website, the dead policy that you quoted is for their VUE 27/30" Series monitors. I could not find their policy on the EDG series. I am hoping that it might be a little better, since it says that this monitor is covered under 3 years warranty vs their 1 or 2 year warranty for the VUE 27//30 models

makatsYeah, that was what I was seeing, although manufacturers often have similar rules for what they consider "normal" across lots of their monitors. Unless they specifically mark/list a monitor as "zero dead pixel" or "pixel perfect" then the "normal" rules probably apply. Even on the "pixel perfect" monitors, I've seen manufacturers still allow for 2 dead pixels or 1 stuck pixels, compared to the "normal" 5/3 or whatever.
And also yeah, they don't list the warranty for the EDG series anywhere that I can find. Hence my annoyance that they don't list this stuff on the drop page, or AT LEAST link to warranty info off-page, although personally I think this stuff should be listed up front. Easier to turn away buyers who will otherwise end up angry and looking for returns and not have to deal with them, rather than take the heat through support and angry reviews online (which can damage manufacturer and series reputation) as a result of people not being informed before buying.

PizzaNadeI feel the same. If hey had great warranty coverage for pixels, then i would buy one instantly. Having up to five dead pixel would turn me off massively. Maybe we can email them for an answer.

synchroYeah... dead pixels on a monitor are a no deal for me. I will always return the monitor.

Sir_PlaysalotQA is terrible with most major monitor manufacturers. It doesn't help that people keep buying crap they put out either.

Adding/Including Memories

I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...
