I've used 2 Swifts 1 from october and 1 from december, both 0 dead pixels, except for minor bleed on bottom. You must be insanely unlucky to get 11 dead pixels, omg. That is imo unacceptable. I wouldn't even want 1 dead pixel, nill nada zero.
Asus has a upcoming PG279Q, same as Swift, G-Sync 144Hz 1440p but IPS. We'l see more tomorrow at Computex.
