144Hz monitors with stuck/dead pixel policy ?

Dicehunter · 14 Jan 2015 at 04:49

Looking at getting a 144Hz monitor but having quite a bad experience with BenQ's XL2720Z which developed 2 stuck pixels within 2 weeks I really don't want to take a chance with one again seeing as they do not have a dead/stuck pixel policy.

Does anyone know which companies have a stuck/dead pixel policy for peace of mind when buying ?

OcUK have an exclusive dead pixel warranty with the ROG Swift:

- OcUK Exclusive Service: Warranty regarding dead pixels falls under ISO rules and as such dead pixels if very few are not an actual fault. But at OcUK we value our customers especially when spending such a large amount of money on what is a flagship gaming monitor. As such even if you only have 1 dead/stuck pixel and it has not gone after 3 days, we will class the monitor as faulty and exchange it for you at no cost to you. This service is exclusive at OcUK for Asus ROG Swift ONLY or other qualifying monitors! (Valid for 28 days from purchase)!

On AMD so the Swift is out of the question, Thanks for the reply though.

I'd be interested in an answer to this, that ISO standard is a joke tbh, 1 dead pixel should be classed as faulty IMO, but if that's the policy, than that's the policy.

I remember buying a laptop and I could pay an extra £10 to have a 'dead pixel guarantee' for a year. I'd happily do that with a monitor.
