PG279Q pixel issues. I’m on my 3rd monitor now :(

Hi guys,

Purchased a PG279Q monitor a few weeks ago, love it to bits BUT... I have since returned it, twice, all for the same reason. My 3rd monitor, I just discovered has a defect in which a pixel looks dead. Here is an image of what it looks like to the normal eye. It looks more like a grey cloud in these images. It is at the bottom left corner which sits level with the top part of the task bar. It is very faint and visible depending on which angle you look at it.

When you zoom into the pixel, it doesn’t actually appear to be a dead/bright pixel issue but rather an issue with the spacing between it and its neighbor?? Creating a slight shadow between them? Or perhaps a sub pixel issue?? See below.

Any ideas what this could be ?? The other two monitors I had were very similar, same colors, not a full pixel issue and always on the left hand side of the monitor. See below for that example

Is this something that could possibly heal itself over time?
