i just got a new BenQ FP241VW and there is a somewhat large (around 2x6 pixels) diagonal gray defect that i thought at first were dead pixels. however when covering it up with UDpixel i am able to see it behind the displayed image by looking at the screen from an angle so i'm guessing it is some kind of debris stuck in between panel layers.

obviously it's a long shot, but it's hard to find information on this subject without getting standard dead/stuck pixel info, so i was wondering if anyone knew of any possible solutions besides just RMA'ing it
 
The screen is sealed, and the layers are essentially glued together. There is no home remedy and you must RMA it.
 
Some time ago, on other forum I`ve seen pics of other FP241VW (or WZ) with debris inside panel.
Moreover I`ve used brand new NEC 20WGX2 PRO that had also some debris inside (hair like).

To HotdogStorm - I`m 100% sure that (at least) NEC 20WGX2 PRO screen in not sealed, and layers are not glued together - I`ve had three NEC`s 20WGX2 PRO, and with the time more and more dust type debris gathered inside, behind screen - what was clearly visible on white background.
One more interesting thing showing that some panels are not sealed - search for "insect inside lcd" on youtube and watch.

The bit between the backlight and the rear of the panel isn't sealed (to allow heat to dissipate), hence you can get debris in there, but the actual LCD part that the light shines through has to be sealed - otherwise the LCD compound would leak out.
 
It's debris under the glass, between it and the backlight. I have disassembled many monitors in order to clean debris out and seal the panels. If it's new return it, or if you feel you like the monitor the way it is besides the debris, you can take it apart and clean it.
