Hi guys, I have an asus vg34vql1b, had it for about 1.5 years now.

It has a green spot top right, not sure if that is something I need to worry about. On black its definitely the most severe, on white its very faint, but it's permanently there, not sure why, this is not OLED so can't be burn in? Can it?

I am not sure if this is something fixable or if it has to go for warranty, it has a 36 month warranty.

I've not seen something like this before, I mean usually screens fail, like completely no?
I did try playing with some color profiles etc a bit but it didn't seem to do anything.

Do you have another video source to verify it is not the graphics card or driver issue

Also disconnect and turn off the screen for 24 hours. It might be stuck pixels and that might fix it
 
Could maybe be artifacting? What are your overdrive settings?
Would guess stuck pixels since usually graphics drivers would affect more of the screen.
 
So I did some troubleshooting.
Tried a second screen, does not show the green spot. So it's definitely the screen itself.
its less obvious on white backgrounds, but still there. So on chrome,mybb not so noticeable.
Luckily it has a 36 month warranty

I also tried different ports, hdmi, dport etc and also unplugged it for 6 hours. Nothing.

So ill take it in but its a mission carrying this thing is 34 inches
 
But like it’s already been mentioned, warranty probably won’t cover it because a single dead pixel is within most manufacturers’ fault tolerance.
 
That's pretty severe in my opinion. Definitely case for a warranty claim.

Fingers crossed it wasn't bought from Evetech or Raru though.
 
It's a fault with the display panel, this would definitely be covered under warranty as this issue is severe. I concur that it is not a dead pixel issue.
 
It was replaced instantly.
Guess 36 month warranties work.
Now that I have the new screen I can see the "screen burn" was actually way worse than I thought. Because it happened gradually overtime I didn't realize it.
Now looking at this new screen I can see that entire old panel had burn, just not to the same extent as the previous one.
I wonder what caused it? Overheating? I mean the screen doesn't seem to get super hot, I don't play with max brightness either or HDR so idk. Maybe just a fluke.

But happy it was replaced and have 23 months left on warranty
