I have purchased and exchanged 8 monitors this year, all had dead pixels out of the box. Is this normal or just rotten luck?

I am actually going to send this monitor directly into Samsung to have them repair it. Figured instead of doing the lottery every time at Best Buy that I should just send it i and wait a few weeks for them to repair the screen. I got nothing left to lose at this point.

 

But seriously, I cannot believe that quality control has gone down this much. I know it's the holidays coming up so they are trying to push out as many units to stores as possible, but to encounter 9 straight dead pixels from different brands and models from two entirely different stores (one store being two separate locations) is absurd. 

'repair' for such an issue is going to be either a panel replacement . or simply a whole new sealed packaged monitor.

The same 'lottery' will applies to both.

Well, fingers crossed I suppose
