How much use did it have before popping off?
Have you tried to revive it at all?
Only noticed it today, had the monitor on every evening for about a week and a bit maybe?
Hopefully it will go on next turn on

I think dell will exchange monitors with dead pixels ..so just get it exchanged with them and they will be faster at bringing new one ..I should have done it with my 2 I sent back today (4th Jan) . The first 1 I had last week is spotless and faintest amount of bleed/clouding .
I just hope when they get replaced they don't have dead pixels or have dirt in the screen .

I'll try but it's really small, and it's a dark dot so only shows up on a white background, so isn't noticeable in games, dark desktops wallpapers etc

I've started using this! and it's actually pretty nice!
Before I just had the factory settings! and it was pretty bright!
Guy I've been using my new Dell since Saturday and I've had 0 issues! it's stunning! this is my first 1440p G-sync monitor and first time using G-sync and wow! Arma 3 and Squad are all smooth as silk! I've got this powered with a EVGA 980TI Hybrid! and it's just perfect! I look over at my 24'' BenQ 120hz the very first ones out, And I just spit on it haha
Had to laugh at your sneeze dots. My heart stopped this morning when I saw what looked exactly like a bad pixel, even ran the pixel check, and decided it was too small to notice, but then blew on it in a bid of desperation, and it was just a round dust spot, whew.
Monitor working great, glad now I jumped in and bought it.
You don't turn your head away when sneezing?

was a misprice or system error with the product, the fact that one guy had a 19" monitor delivered instead and another had the right one delivered points towards it.
No doubt, will see what arrives on Monday. At any rate it's either a bargain or no loss for me, hopefully the former.
