My pixel problem has come back...It couldn't be the monitor, and now it's not the graphics drivers either. What else is there?

Oh here, I found something of interest:

ASCR (ASUS SMART CONTRAST RATIO) TECHNOLOGY
ASCR Technology automatically adjusts the luminance of the backlight for better displays according to the image contents, and improves the contrast ratio to 10,000,000:1 for more realistic depictions of night scenes during games or movies.

Have you tried checking the condition of your monitor cables?

I turned "ASCR" off, the monitor cables are brand new and are the ones that came with the monitor. Plus it worked before with the same setup, even with ASCR on

Hello H4LO341. One thing I have found is new doesn't always mean "good". When the screen goes on a dark scene are the monitors lights indicating power, still on?

What you need to do if you can, is connect this monitor to another PC, or even a laptop and test with the same video as causes the problem.

I also agree about the CCC, it causes more issues than being helpful. It's not really needed, w7 has plenty of built-in video controls.
