Just bought this monitor GB244HSU 144Hz feels absolutely awesome, compared to 60Hz. But I have 2 questions about this monitor: 1) I noticed this dark spot ~0.5cm in diameter. It's only noticeable on black/gray colors.

Screen:

 
Its not my screen. Just found in internet to show what it looks like!

Should i rma?

    Read the manufacturers details on returns and exhanges. Some companies have it wrote into their warranty that certain ampunts of dead pixels are not covered. They may have this in their warranty just in case it comes up, so it helps to read oflver the details just in case it comes up.

    I bought monitor 2 weeks ago. In first few days i noticed weird smudge on a screen:
    ( not my screen but the same symptom ) . I dont have camera to make screen. I was tried to remove this by finger but not helped.
     

     
     
    But. When i went away few meters to rest in bed it looked like this:
     

     

     
     
    Anyway it dissapeared itself after 5-6 day of use. Now i cannot see this. ANd question. RMA monitor or not? Why it dissapeared? Keep monitor ?

    Hard to give an answer on that. Either way could be the wrong way. If you keep it, because the spot went away, and you decide to keep it. What happens if it comes back? You may have gone out of your RMA period. Now, if it never comes back, and you RMA'd it, you would have some inconvenience to you. You have to decide on your own what decision to make, after that explanation.

    Would you have paid the same amount if you had known about the "issue"?
     
    When I buy something new I expect to be just that.. This could even be the beginning of something else. However, if you say that it disappeared I don't see how you could RMA it since the problem is not there anymore. Keep a close eye on it and if it appears back RMA it.
