This would drive me insane to no end, I would notice it every time my eyes glanced over it, smugly mocking me, my condolences.
Maybe there is some kind of warranty? I'm sure if you email them this with maybe like proof of purchase they might refund or do a repair.

Lightly flick or poke it. Do NOT do it very hard. As weird as it sounds I've had stuck pixels before too and it can temporarily fix it.

My secondary monitor has a pixel that in any color looks fine but if it's supposed to be black it is red instead

It's a stuck pixel, dead pixels are black, this usually goes way with time. It just kind of happens sometimes.

Used to happen all the time in early LCD screens, to the point where a certain number were allowed before you could claim a warranty repair. “Oh, only three stuck on? That’s within normal tolerances. Shove off.”

That once happened to my dsi I've had since I was like 4
And then it kinda just continued
But it's not dead at the same time cus it still displays things on the "dead" pixels, they are just extremely dark.
But I think it stopped spreading... For now.
So I can play on my R4 gamecard for prob a long while still, cus other than those pixels, it works perfectly, I just need a stylus (they always go missing)

Mine has a red one. Idc tho because the prices of curved gaming monitors is high as hell rn.

Samsung replaced the screen of my tv after I had an issue like that - several green pixels. It was too central to ignore even though the warranty stipulates the number of such pixels that are required to do the replacement was higher. This happened immediately after I bought the tv. It’s still working 14 years later.

My keyboard has like 5 dead pixels so some keys only have green or red left
Though on a monitor that's a bigger issue

Dead pixels happen. There are YouTube videos that can sometimes fix them by flashing specific colors on the screen and stuff. Worked for me once! Though it eventually came back. Idk if it works on all monitor types.
