Dead/stuck pixel on an IPS?

[Bluuz]

I got an Asus pb278q and noticed a white spot in dark backgrounds. 

Browsing around, I was trying to find out if it was a dead (unfixable) or a bright pixel (I can try to fix)

 

I'm confused because a dead pixel does not mean the same for TN as it is for an IPS (or pls) panel. One means a failure to block white light and the other is the inability to let light through, but I'm not sure which applies to my situation.

 

In other words, I have a bright dot when I have a dark background, is the pixel dead?

If the pixel is stuck lit up, it's a stuck pixel/bright pixel

 

If the pixel is stuck off, it's a dead pixel.

it's probably stuck, try running a pixel unsticker and see if that works

if it doesn't, try contacting ASUS or the store for an RMA

Try applying light pressure to it and use one of those flashing color programs to see if you can unstick it

You can't RMA a monitor for one dead/stuck pixel. There usually needs to be at least 3-5 as stated in the warranty. If it is only one there is nothing you can do about it.

Pretty sure that Asus has some warranty on high-end monitors that's like:

0 bright pixels

3 dead pixels

But my memory is bad at this moment in time...

You're right.

Thanks for the answer. 

I've tried using software and rubbing the spot but it doesn't seem to have helped.

Has anyone had experience with Asus' warranty services in Canada? (specifically monitors)
