24' Asus Monitor With Dead Pixels and Redlight?

24' Asus C624BQ Monitor With 1920x1200 Resolution


The first picture shows how my monitor looks when I lock it. What is that red light that is there? Is that a big thing? When I use it normally, it looks like the 2nd picture. There isn't any shadow spots on this monitor but notice those tiny black dots. Are these dead pixels? If not, what are they? I use this 2nd monitor for things like YouTube and those small black spots have never bothered me that much.


I spent probably like $290 USD for it a while back. How much is this monitor worth now in this condition? Is this still worth at least $50 USD?

Very few people will want a faulty monitor like the one you're hoping to sell because the problems could get worse. Someone might want one for spare parts. However, the shipping costs will exceed the value so selling it locally for cash (pickup only) is the most practical option. You'll be lucky to get as much as $50.

PS: They don't look like dead pixels to me because they're too large. They're probably dried on food spots but it's difficult to tell without an extreme close-up of the problem areas.

The red area looks like a bad TCON board (Timing Control), the black spots are not pixels, looks like dust or bugs (not software, real creepy crawlies). Generally the TCON isn't replaced in a Monitor like a TV, it's possible, but prohibitively expensive
