Over the years, I noticed a pattern: people often return perfectly fine monitors because they mistake stuck pixels, uniformity issues, or brightness settings for real panel defects.
In many cases, the monitor was tested in the wrong conditions (too bright room, wrong patterns, wrong expectations).
To make this easier, I put together a very small browser-based checker for pixel tests and uniformity — nothing fancy, just the basics people actually need before starting an RMA.
It helped me personally avoid unnecessary returns, so I figured it might be useful for others here too.
A lot of people confuse dead pixels with stuck pixels and end up returning perfectly fine monitors.
Dead pixels stay black permanently.
Stuck pixels are usually colored (red/green/blue) and can sometimes be fixed.
I put together a simple browser-based pixel test here if anyone wants to check properly before RMA:

Curious how others here usually test monitors before returning them. Do you check in a dark room, specific patterns, or just eyeball it?
