A good monitor with Gsync with no dead pixels?

At first, I paid 450 dollars for a Alienware monitor with gsync. It had horrible back light bleed and dead pixels in the very center of the screen from white to pitch black. This was a new monitor by the way, not a refurbished and not a used one. That is why I wanted to ask anyone that has a good knowledge on gaming companies like Asus and BenQ to recommend me a good monitor with little to no problems or recommend me a good company that is more understanding of things like dead pixels and back light bleed. Because Dell are acting like a 450 dollar monitor, perfectly new, should be fine with dead pixels in the dead center of the screen.

Do you guys know a good gaming monitor that has 144hz to 240hz gsync with little to no back light bleed, around 200-400 dollars, and no dead pixels?

Also, do you guys have any experience with buying a monitor that had no dead pixels? And if your monitor had dead pixels, did you have a good experience with that company replacing it?

Really wish big companies that sell "high quality monitors" would be more understanding to small stuff like dead pixels and back light bleed.

All high end monitors have a chance of being faulty. I don't think there is any brand in particular that is better than the others when it comes to this.

buy used, that way you can test it for dead pixels

As mentioned, all monitors have a chance of defects. That's why there's warranty.

You need to read through each companies warranty, per product, as they differ. Note that stuck pixels are not the same as dead pixels.

Also, if an IPS monitor, IPS glow is going to happen. It's an inherent part of the technology. It's not the same as back light bleed.

Thank you for all your responses. Do you guys have a recommendation for a good monitor that is from 200-400 dollars gsync? 144hz-240hz? Also, are there more monitors with dead pixels than monitors with no defects?(Basically, are dead pixels more common than monitors with no dead pixels.) Thanks for any advice because I don't want to re buy the 450 dollar monitor and want to save some money on the new choice.
