Asus VG259QM input lag/responsiveness?

[whitepage]

Hi!

It's great to see you engaging here! I’ve read a lot of your posts even before becoming a member of the forum, and I really appreciate the time and effort you put into helping others and sharing your knowledge about monitor technology.

Everything you’ve said makes perfect sense and definitely contributes to a smoother overall experience. To be honest, I didn’t expect to feel such a noticeable difference in input lag—I thought it would just be a bit smoother with less tearing, but I didn’t anticipate the monitor actually feeling more responsive.

The only downside so far for me is the IPS glow, which is really noticeable since my previous BenQ had more of a matte finish, if that makes sense.

Unfortunately, there’s one more issue:

There’s a pixel (or what looks like one) in the middle of the screen that appears slightly grey. It doesn’t change colors and stays grey across different backgrounds. I had two stuck pixels on my previous Omen X 25f that I was able to fix quickly by gently tapping the screen, but I'm guessing that might not work with IPS panels?

Is there any way to fix this, or should I consider returning the monitor for a replacement?

I’ll try to include two pictures, though it’s easier to spot in real life than in photos. For example, when you open the white fullscreen on this page ([url][https://whitepage.dev/]), the spot is immediately visible from a normal viewing distance.
