Monitor has a kind of? dead pixel. Should I exchange or is there a remedy?
I recently purchased the ASUS 27" IPS XG27AQ and I love the screen. Only one issue. When gaming, especially on a dark screen, there's a pixel at the bottom right that will flash between white and black. Since it's still putting out light, I don't think it's dead, but there's definitely something wrong. Is this something that I can fix on my own or am I better off returning the monitor in exchange for a new one? I hate doing that because I somehow always end up with another unit with an even worse issue.
