Should I return this monitor ??? (dead pixels )

[Evoar]

hi, today i just got my monitor after 65days [EU].but my unit has three dead pixels.

- first one is on the top left corner. ( which is not noticeable in daily use )

- second one is right in center of my screen.

- third is middle right ( idk if it’s really a dead or stuck pixel. you can feel a small dent)

It states that the alienware series of monitors must have 6 or more Bright Sub-Pixel defects or 9 or more Dark Sub-Pixel defects to warrant a replacement.

My monitor only has ~3 dead pixels, so i can't apply for an rma from dell.So I have to cancel my order and return it within 14 days and buy a new one via dell shop.

My problem is the new monitor is available on 07.09.

i have to wait two more months to eventually get a better one.

How would you behave ?

would you keep the previous monitor with the dead pixel or accept an extremely long wait for the new one or give a shit about Dell / Alienware?

Except for the dead pixels, my unit has very little ips glow. however, 650 euros are too much for a new monitor with a dead pixel right in the middle.

idk if I’m too picky or not ?

I'd return it if you can.

 

This is the exact reason why I hesitate to buy new monitors & only buy them from amazon so I can return them without fuss.

If you paid for it, it doesn't work as intended and is still under some sort of warranty then absolutely.

If it bugged me absolutely. I typically keep my monitors for a long time so I wouldn't accept anything that bug me for simply being impatient to get a new one because I would regret it later on for sure. Granted this is part of the reason I have always gone to microcenter as I can always return a monitor super easily if there happens to be any defects and go get a new one no questions asked so long as they have one in stock.
