God I hate dead pixels - one, phooking ONE - I wish I had more to fulfil the criteria of sending it back.
Just moaning, my annoyance will pass in a day or two. Not in a bad place on the screen, but it's a bollox anyway.

Sorry to hear that, it's one more reason I'll not buy an LCD monitor. |

well the number of dead pixels determines the quality of the monitor/panel. If its brand new and got a dead pixel that's not good

What sucks is what is apparently acceptable!! I've just checked the guide for this new monitor, and the criteria is appalling for dead pixels - I calculate they can get away with about 8 in total before I can expect any recompense. Whilst this is annoying, it is only a monitor, but think of a laptop - I have 2 (neither of which have any dead pixels) - but imagine forking out ?1500 on a laptop knowing you can't return it because of the 'dead pixel policy', which they all enforce to one degree or other. It's like buying a new car - "oh yeah it only has 3 scratches on it, it is within our accepted scratch policy, tough" Not likely. |

I even chose this brand especially - Neovo, as that last one worked flawlessly for me. Time to stop moaning and live with it methinks. 'Scuse my ranting. |

Even if they don't guarantee there will be no dead pixels, you can just choose the one that hasn't got any. You can just ask them to connect it for you in the shop and if you see a dead pixel, you tell them you won't buy it. Also, it is now becoming more and more common that the producer guarantees 100% working pixels. |
