One of my Dell S2716DG monitors has developed what appears to be a couple of adjacent bright red pixels, however I've tracked this down to only being an issue when running in full-screen g sync mode. The problem is 100% repeatable and disappears as soon as g sync is disabled. Reducing the refresh rate also makes no difference.
I've tried a different display port cable and swapping the GPUs and monitors between two computers and the result is always the same on that particular screen. Therefore quite confident that the g-sync scaler in the monitor has developed a small fault, but thought it worth seeing if anyone else has come across a similar issue. I've found one similar report via google, but this was on delivery and was replaced under RMA. This is a new fault in my case as the issue has only just started. Unfortunately the monitor is ~6 months out of warranty.
Any advice gratefully received, but I think the options are live with it, disable g-sync, or replace the screen.
