New dell s2716dg monitor

Griff7520 · 25 Jun 2017 at 12:17

Hi all.during boot I can see a green and a blue pixel about 2 inches from the top of the screen in about centre position.
Once into windows they have gone. Any one know if this is a problem or has anyone else seen this before....is it anything to worry about.
I have had the monitor 3 days and don't know if I should return it while I still can....thanks

Run this video test and see if they appear again.

My s2716dg has one dead pixel in the left bottom corner but its only noticeable on a white background.

thanks......ran the test and saw no dead pixels or any other kind of pixel tbh. Seems to only be visible during boot. I have not see anything while playing games or anything.

That's good news then.. if your happy with it then keep it because there is a chance a replacement could have a similar issue.

Had a similar issue, just booted my machine and had a green stuck pixel about 1" from bottom left third of the bezel. I rubbed the area and it seemed to disappear, hopefully it won't come back.

That single dead pixel would haunt me daily, I would have to replace it myself.

If it was near the centre of the screen then yes i would have got it replaced
