can your gpu cause dead pixels?

[xdeathshot20]

ok so this may sound weird so bare with me.  I just purchase a new asus pg279q monitor.  It works like a charm and everything but while watching a video today on a white or bright screen, i noticed that there was a dead pixel.  Now i do have a warranty on the display so ill just exchange it but it begs the question, can your gpu cause dead pixels on your monitor?  My other monitor has them as well but much more of them.  If the gpu can cause this, is there a way to prevent it?

No, but are you sure it wasn't just the video that had a dead pixel?

Then most likely just return/exchange the display.

 

Also why did you buy that display? Nvidia supports free-sync now, and those displays with IPS panels are around only around $300-350.

 

or there's 100hz Ultrawides for $400

Are you sure it is a dead pixel and not just a stuck one?

In case you didn't know stuck pixels are perfectly square (unless they are bunched up) and are red,green or blue. A dead pixel is gray or black and sometimes squiggly looking. Often stuck pixels are actually smudges on the screen or fixable by using a stuck pixel fixer. Dead pixels are not fixable however.
