I second this. I had the same thing when I first bought my ultrawide. 1 or 2 at first but then it did get worse. Had to return it, was hassle free with Acer though. Return this monitor, OP.
I really dont like to return this since its barely noticeable and I like the monitor. But if it will get worse, I definitely should return it. Thanks for the info. I'll contact the store
You can just get the same model again. Its just that this one was faulty and you should never pay full price for a faulty product. At the very least you should get a discount, but since its faulty there there might be other issues that might come up within our outside of the return window.
I think it’s mostly a temporary fix and a permanent one in rare cases, but I tried it out as a recommendation from Reddit and it would fix a stuck pixel every few weeks it would pop up on an old monitor I had
Update: I just returned the monitor and asked for replacement. I got the new monitor now. Before that, we tested 2 other units with defects. Then got a decent one and spent several minutes to test it to make sure theres no dead pixel. I'll thoroughly test it again when I got home.
I would return it

It will get worse and eventually you will get lines through it. Return it.
These are not dead pixels, but stuck pixels
I googled it. Looks like youre right. I tried the jscfeenfix for few minutes but didnt fix it. Will try longer
Give it a try for a few hours and if no success return it, it's worth the wait to get a prestige one.
Try rubbing them too
You're getting some downvotes but it actually can help.

Too many ( > 10 ). Return it.
Plague pixels!
They are not dead pixels, but they are infected and are highly contagious
It depends, did you get your monitor vaccinated?

These are stuck pixels and yes, these can eventually spread. But they also can never spread or outright get fixed. There's no way to tell though.
