Review on ASUS VG259QR Gaming Monitor - 1080P, 165Hz, High Definition by Darrin Pennington

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pixel error 3 times in a row! Asus going under?

I've lived with Asus hardware for almost 20+ years but now I've ordered this monitor 3 times and each time got dead pixels and refunded to Amazon. I had to buy again after the 1st exchange as Amazon will no longer make less than 1 replacement in any given order. I had high hopes for this third monitor. Third charm, right? Not correct. However, this monitor only has 1 bad pixel and only shows red. So I figured I'd keep the 1 to myself instead of going back on holiday (gas is expensive dude!). Overall Asus monitors are great but to be honest after seeing this I would say there is a 99% chance. that every Asus monitor that ships has at least 1 or more dead or faulty pixels. Where is the Asus Quality Control? I've been buying your products for so long I even did a pixel check on a 27" 1440p monitor we bought a few years ago that I've never tested and what do you know? broken pixels! This is madness! 3 stars because you can probably buy worse products, but dead pixels on 4 out of 4 monitors I've recently bought really bother me and you should too. we pay for 100% of the pixels to work, and we don't get that
