DEAD PIXEL POLL

[Silversinksam]

Poll requested by BossBorot

How many dead pixels do you have?

How do I find dead pixels? Use Dead Pixel Buddy (http://www.laptopshowcase.co.uk/downloads.php?id=1)

http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/update.gif Many people have multiple LCDs, so you can now select multiple choices

[z0n3]

Never had one.

[BossBorot]

None on any of mine thus far. I'm very curious as to how many people actually have them. We all fear them but how many people have had them?

[Krogen]

I have one, always was there. Viewsonic 700b monitor, 3 years old, 16ms. Like it a lot.

[hotrod469]

Using DPB I have two dead green pixels, that I never knew about!
(ViewSonic VP191b)

[Krome]

None on my Samsung!

[JDXNC]

None on my fiance's BenQ T705, good thing cause thier technical support might as well not exist :mad:

[Dermen]

I had dead/stuck pixels and exchanged the LCD for another one that had dead/stuck pixels. Finally the 3rd one was perfect.

I'm glad I bought it locally. Its too much money to spend knowing you can't do anything if its defective when you buy online.

[nachosyumm]

none on my dell 2007fpw

[dfonda]

None( That I can see anyway) on a 2405.

[Hamm3r]

I have one blue on my L90D+. Its there since I bought it. But it doesn't bother me really.

[hitbyaprkedcar7]

I have two dead black pixels on my HP L1755. Cant notice them unless look real close

BTW, this proggy is very good for finding all of those smudgets on your LCD :)

none on mine. yes it show how much i need to clean my moniter lol

[scott d]

Never had one.

same here

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

none, dual HP L1940's

[hainer36]

none *knock on wood* and dead pixels do suck, seen a few on friends LCD's and they are crap

[Silversinksam]

BTW, this proggy is very good for finding all of those smudgets on your LCD :)

I agree, I turn on Dead Pixel Buddy, Go to the white screen and then clean my LCD screen with Arcticlear.

PS, I wish people that voted they exchanged their LCD with dead or stuck pixels, listed the Vendor or Manufacturer :rolleyes:

[SuperFarStucker]

My thinkpad has 3 dead pixels in the display. I bought it second hand though, so I can't say whether it came like that. The screen is pretty hammered so it is likely the previous owner inflicted the damage (the backlight coating was damaged by liquids or something and if you're not viewing it +/- 10* the backlighting looks very uneven and harsh). I've looked into getting it replaced but the drop in units are obscenely priced (400 USD) and I don't know what would be required to replace it for a like unit, if it is even possible (I recently saw that somebody upgraded his powerbook lcd so I suppose it IS possible). My 2005fpw has 0 dead pixels.

[Shelnutt2]

My Samsung 940BW is perfect,

how ever my previous Samsung 713v had one dead pixel, I just went and exchanged it at sams club. My sister now enjoys a (dead) pixel free monitor.

[Seufari]

I have had 6 lcd monitors and 2 laptops....

two monitors and 1 laptop had no dead/stuck pixels. All the others had one or two that were...

They are the most annoying thing ever... Once you notice them they grow to ten times their innitial size and become much more noticeable...

[Internal]

Viewsonic VX922, no dead pixels.

[bchur83]

I have owned 8 LCDs so far, and not one of them has had any dead pixels. Knock on wood.

[Enablingwolf]

No dead pixels on my cheapy AL1716D (http://global.acer.com/products/monitor/1_series.htm). The best deal I have gotten in a long time. For the $130 I spent, it is a great monitor. Since I got it local, I was not as worried about dead pixels.

I have never gotten a LCD with dead pixels.

[Cyrix_2k]

3 on my ancient 15" LCD, none on any of my five laptops, none on my 19", and none on either my brother's 19" or my Dad's 18.1".

[schnikies79]

one stuck blue pixel on my 2005fpw, i noticed it when i first got it because i was looking hard-core for it. dosen't bother me though.

none on my lappy.

[LiveSideways]

I have one stuck green in the lower right hand corner on my new-ish 1907fp. Its on the taskbar so I never bothered to return it. Starting to bug me now that I'm going to be selling it to get a 2407.

I got it like 5 months ago I think.... I don't suppose they'd replace it for one pixel....

[johan851]

I seem to have like 3 or 4 on my 2007FPW. Never noticed them, and I have a 5-year warranty if I decide they're really bothering me. Don't care a lot.

[Green_Flea]

None, Dell 2407

[kwongnewman]

Zero, Samsung SyncMaster 912N

[boris_37]

None, Samsung 940BF(yes a 2ms monitor :D)

[Burdman27911]

I have a Dell 2005fpw, and no stuck/dead pixels.

[EvilCloudStrife]

I have 3 dead pixels in my PSP :(

[squads]

None on my BenQ fp202w

I had one on my old PSP, sold it months ago. I also have one on my video iPod. :D The PSP one bothered me, but on the iPod I hardly ever use it for video and it's very very hard to see.

[CalsonicGTR]

0 on the Viewsonic, 0 on the laptop.

[Bios24]

20" wide Dell came perfect and has been that way for almost a year now. Buddy of mine bought a cheap-o 19" online that came with 4-5 dead pixels. It looked pretty bad but I don't think he knew the difference. :-/

[sicloan]

1 dead pixel on my 17" purchased over 2 years ago. None on my 20.1" benq I Just Recieved. So glad i didnt get any dead pixels, that would have been a bummer.

[Deanzo]

Well I went none and loving it.
But when I bought my first LCD an AOC 17 it had 3 dead pixel out of the box I took it back paid a little be more and got a Samsung 940b and so far (about 6 months now) Zero dead pixels

[voodoomelon]

Out of 16,090,560 pixels on 4 monitors, only 1 has stuck on me on a Dell 2005fpw. :)

[Macaholic]

I've been rather fortunate. Out of 15 various LCD iMacs, PowerBooks, iBooks, Apple Cinema Displays, and Mitsubishi DiamondPoint LCDs, I have only encountered a single dead pixel. Knock on wood. :)

[Yamiyanazz]

I had two cheap 15" Norcent LCDs for a while. Neither of them had a dead pixel.

I now have a Dell 2007WFP. No dead pixels.

My mother just got a brand new dell laptop. No dead pixels.

[benbaked]

I've been fortunate to have never received a LCD with a dead pixel (as far as myself or my users can tell) but I've had LCD monitors with other issues.

Particularly my PQI/Xerox LCD at home will "burn" in a steady image after just a few minutes (like the menu bar for example), and it takes several hours for the burn to dissipate. It's annoying when I'm trying to do...well anything really, but turning the screen saver on after a minute seems to help it out.

Also, I've had a lot of problems with the VG920 LCD from Viewsonic. Viewsonic's other LCDs I've used have been fantastic but I've had to return 50% of my VG920 displays due to issues ranging from multiple horizontal lines to "sparkled background effects".

[bboyfobulous]

i had a retarded pixel one time ....it was a dead pixel dead center of my screen for 2 months.... then all of a sudden it would flash different colors....

and then ... like magic... after 3 months, it finally worked normally !! that was cool

[doublejack]

I have an NEC with one pixel stuck blue. It initially worked fine and just died all of a sudden about a year ago.

I only entered one entry for zero pixels. I have two LCD's and two Laptops and NONE of them have any dead pixels. My wife has had three company issued laptops and none of them had any dead pixels, either.

[Oroka Sempai]

I have 2 LCDs on my computer, one with my dad's system, and my PSP. I have no dead pixels at all. All 3 computer LCDs are the same model.

[Robbie T]

no dead pixels on my MAG 900P. I've had it for 2 years :)

[freakdiablo]

none on my 17" sony hs74p, despite alot of lan parties and my driving

[stereo555]

Two LCD's , no dead pixels . One lcd is about 3 years old .

[Mr. Roboto]

ONE on my 2407, none on my old HP 17" f1703

[voodoomelon]

Believe it or not, massaging a dead pixel with your fingertip can bring it back to life. I kid you not...

:)

[stereo555]

Believe it or not, massaging a dead pixel with your fingertip can bring it back to life. I kid you not...

:)

Ive not had to try it , but yes Ive heard it works in alot of cases to massage the pixel back to life .

For those in need to do so , here is a linky http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Stuck-Pixel-on-an-LCD-Monitor ;)

Maybe we could "sticky" the link somewhere :cool: :D

[PsycoPhreak]

None on my 20" w/screens. Although my PSP had, yes HAD, 7 or 8 dead center of the screen (so annoying!) until I fixed it by cycling the primary colors on the screen with a "gif" file for about 24 hours (anyone who owns a PSP should already know about that trick), then it was down to 1 and stayed that way up until I sold it.

Same can be done with an LCD monitor. If you notice you have what appear to be "dead" pixels, you may be able to bring them back to life by cycling the primary colors (eg. blue, green, red, white, black) rapidly for several hours.

What this basically does is "exercise" the transistors that power the row/column of their respective pixels, switching them from full off, to full on, etc...

Most of the time if you apply a black screen and find pixels that are white, chances are they are in fact "dead", but not all the time, but if the pixel happens to show a color, then there is a good chance the pixel is "stuck, or what I call lazy, and cycling the screen rapidly through the primary colors in most cases will bring them back to "life".

The program that SSS has graciously linked to will cycle through the colors well enough to do it, just set the "time cycle" to a value of "0" for the fastest result, although a better alternative to the program would be making an animated gif file with each frame the needed color, and setting the frame delay to "0" and using a program to display it full screen. That will cycle the colors at the fastest rate possible, and bring most "stuck" or "lazy" pixels back to life the quickest. (ATTN! not recommended for those who suffer from forms of epilepsy, as this can induce an epileptic attack in some people.)

I'm unsure if others who already responded in this thread know about tricks like this, if not, now you do!:beer:

[Joeteck]

I have one, always was there. Viewsonic 700b monitor, 3 years old, 16ms. Like it a lot.


Well, would you like to repair it?

I found a very neat little program that can do just that!! In order to fix a "so-called" dead pixel you'll need to blast it with mutiple colors and force it to turn on and off.

Here is the link. LINK #1 (http://udpix.free.fr/index.php?p=dl)

And if that website fails, I'm hosting the file as well.

LINK #2 (http://www.craftyphotos.com/software/UDPixel21_en_installer.exe)

It works very well. The color bars on the left let you find the dead pixel. Some Dead pixel's are green. Some are black, very few are blue. But this allows you to find them. Then on the right pane, select how many flashing boxes you need so you can fix multiply pixels at once. Move your mouse over it, and you'll get a cross. Click and hold to move it over the dead pixel. Plus, you can change the Flash or cycle interval. I hope my little find can help you guys with your dead pixels.

I think this deserves a sticky!

Enjoy!

Joe

I have trouble believing it works. I mean, if it's dead, it's dead, isn't it? I'll try this right now though.

[Yensen]

Any luck so far Krogen? Or is this technique a slow process?

[Krogen]

Weird stuff. I don't know what happened to my dead pixel. I downloaded the file and tried locating the pixel but I couldn't find it. As far as I remember it was always there but during normal use it was almost invisible since it was on the bottom right corner of the screen (peripheral vision not as effective as foveal?). It was only visible if the lcd displayed either a single color or I was watching a movie far from the screen itself. Not there.

Well, I don't want it back :)

[Tmod]

I purchased a Samsung 940BX from ZipZoomFly.com with 4 stuck green pixels in the upper right hand corner.

I returned it and they sent me a 940BX with 1 stuck red pixel in the upper left hand corner.

I doubt I would purchase Samsung again.

Tmod

[Nexus Realized]

None
Gateway FPD2185W

[Femto]

No dead pixels on my Viewsonic and to simply put it...I'M LOVING IT!

[voodoomelon]

I doubt I would purchase Samsung again.

Tmod

My 27" Samsung has no dead pixels, guess you were unlucky.

[OniKoroshi]

2,073,600 pixels in my 42'' and luckily none of them dead/stuck.

[telexen]

I have at least 5 I just saw with DPB on my Samsung 905BW. I really cannot notice them very well when viewing normally...I have to look closely and know where they are.

Is it worth my time/money to send it back?

*EDIT* I'm now looking closer with all the colors and can see at minimum 15

[PsycoPhreak]

I'm now looking closer with all the colors and can see at minimum 15

If it's new, I would send it back.

15 dead pixels is not acceptable, I believe most places usually take them back if there are 9 or more, some places will replace them if there even less, but 15???


SEND IT BACK!

[mage_x]

Zero with my Samsung 710N-2

[raevien]

I have a 6 yeah old 15" lcd that after 4 years developed one pixel where the red wouldn't show. My syncmaster 205bw has 0.

[Rattle]

just bought a samsung 205bw and no dead or stuck pixels.
I waited a long time to buy a LCD that I thought was worth it in the $300 range, so far I am very happy with it.

[rseven]

We have 3 LCD's here and no dead pixals, at least that's what my seeing eye dog tells me.:p

[terran2k]

well my 2005fpw did not have one for about a year now, now it's developed 1, not quite dead, but not as bright as the others on white. ah well. its near the top left corner, doesn't bother me.

[SeasonalEclipse]

I have none since im too poor for a fancy mancy LCD screen.

[Soichiro]

Never had one, but there's one on my grandparents' LCD and it annoys me whenever I have to go fix their computer every other weekend :p

[TehVine]

Samsung is dead pixel free, but my secondary 17" Rosewill for my server... well... it has 3.

[Remove]

I had never checked any of my monitors before and am very happy to see no dead pixels on all 3. My oldest one is a Dell that was the first 19" LCD they offered and is some years old.


Guess it was worth what I payed for...I think it was about $1100.


...don't judge me...I did it for the payments! ...no system...just a sweet LCD...I swear!

[Precision]

zero on both 19in Samsung 920n's here at the house :D

[stereo555]

Just grabbed a Viewsonic VX2235 from Costco ..... no dead pixels :) .

[NettieZoom]

My monitor came with 1 dead pixel, then promptly after the warranty expired 2 more popped up as if by design lol. Luckily the dead pixels are in spots where you dont notice them unless looking for them.

[DavidJa]

just got my monitor last night and no dead pixels WEWT :attn:
but its got slight backlight bleeding...:bang head :(

[Mole]

Have yet to find 1 dead pixel.

But it does suffer from backlight bleeding, though it's usually barely noticeable.

[Europa]

have cheap 15" CRT

[Cowboy X]

I am pleased to be in the "none and loving it" crowd.

[Slaps]

Zero with the old ViewSonic.

[stereo555]

Now testing out another lcd , this time a Sammy 225BW ; and no dead pixels !

[downer]

I have about 3 dead pixels on my Viewsonic VX2025wm. They are around the center of the screen. They are only visible on a black background. It's a shame too, because I really like the screen. I'm debating whether or not to send it in for an RMA. I've tried using Udpixel, but no luck.

[MrSeanKon]

Nothing!
LG 19" TFT :santa:
2.5 years old! :D

[Skeith]

I have one dead phosphor cell on my CRT does that count?

[watchthisspace]

On my laptop which is 4years old it has 7dead pixels, about 5 in a little clump and 2 that are harder to see

[Phrenetical]

i got a 22" proview lcd 499 AU. it 5ms 85/85 so top specced, and no dead pixels yet.

But im heaps protective of it, like people point at the screen and im LIKE WTF DONT TOUCH IT!!!

seriously anyone cause a dead pixel from touching my screen is replacing it.

:D

[Kevin007]

My dad has one on his Sager Laptop. I'm not sure if it is completely dead, it is more of a colorblind pixel.

[sno.lcn]

I have one pixel in my Viewsonic VX924 that lights red where it should be black, but shows every other color fine:rolleyes:

[slacker607]

my rosewill held out a little over 2 years and the other day half a row went down the crapper. it doesnt bother me that much but it does give me a reason to start looking at 22" and 24" lcd's

[basiliskdragons]

I brought the Hyundai ImageQuest N91W 5ms no problems at all

[stereo555]

My brother just got his rma'd Gateway 21" and it has one dead pixel . :(

[Wiggles]

None on a HP L1740 (work monitor)
None on a Dell 2005FPW (home)

[SteveLord]

None on a Samsung 172x
None on my BenQ FP202

[shrinkydinx]

i have an EXTREMELY FAINT light gray vertical line near the edge of one of my monitors... only showed up today though, im hoping its a result of haven been writing a paper on that monitor for 9 hours straight, it lines up with the edge of the word document http://shrinkydinx.com/s/mamoru.gif

[greyharte]

2 different monitors/mfrs no dead pixels in either my veiwsonic ws19 nor my envision 7200 (had 2 of those and both were fine tho first died to other issues, still have 2nd)

[sephiroth_749]

acer 19" widescreen 5ms response no dead pixels and im lovin it

[PhysX]

3,528,000 Pixels, none dead :) 2x20.1" Dells :)

[Hardin]

I had a dead pixel but now I can't find it. Maybe it came back to life?

[illuminati11_13]

I have none on any of the computers and displays that I use...

That old laptop I stepped on has quite a number though...

[blitzkrieg1110]

Well I just recently got a single sky-blue stuck pixel on my Westinghouse 22inch (the one that was on sale for 199.99 during black Friday). Really disappointed because you can clearly see it unless its on a white screen. I tried running "j-screen fixer", a free program that supposedly has a good success rate of fixing a stuck pixel. It worked the first time I used it for a day or two and now the stuck pixel is back and its driving me insane. I'm going to leave this program running while I'm at work and see if it changed anything when I get back.....

[Jedi Mind Trick]

got a HannsG hw192d 19'' widscreen from newegg and.... no dead pixels yayy

[Joeteck]

Just got a 2485W with zero dead pixels.

[vtec96]

Had Zero for first 3 years with NEC 18" LCD. Now have one thats hard to spot on the bottom of the screen. :rolleyes:

[David_N]

Between my 22", my dads 22" and 19", my two laptops, and my dads laptop we've had zero dead pixels.


22" Samsung
22" Acer
19" Samsung
14.1" Compaq V2000
17" Toshiba satellite
14.1" Acer something
:)

Needless to say, I'm loving LCD!

[LogRus]

LOVE all of my LCD's!


Dell 17" - local buy - NONE
AG Neovo 19" - NewEgg.com - NONE
Hyundai B90A 19" - local Fry's - had 1 DEAD - Fry's replaced it w/out a single problem.
Sony Vaio Laptop w/10.3" LCD - NONE
Apple G4 w/15" LCD - NONE
ViewSonic 22" VG2230wm - NONE!
:D


Another 22" ViewSonic LCD is coming from NewEgg.com tomorrow... will see how that goes :D

[vixro]

I have none on my Chimei 22" cmv 221D LCD. When I bought my BenQ 19" FP93G-X, it had about 17 stuck pixels, every single one of them I was able to remove with a small amount of pressure and multiple color change. They are all gone now.

[Section8]

My first 2407WFP had a spot with like 5 dead pixels all in the same area creating this big black spot. I sent it back and the 2nd one I got had 0 dead pixels and I am a happy man :) Except for the fact that I want a 3007WFP now :(

[Hardin]

I bought a 20.1" Sceptre monitor and it had a dead pixel but after a few months it went away. I didn't think pixels could come back to life but I haven't seen it for awhile now. It's very strange.

[Vrykyl]

DOH!! just run dpb, apparently I have one stuck blue pixel on my 4yr old dell 2001fp and a WHOLE lot o dirt :D

[chrispycrunch]

My 930B Samsung 19" is 1.5 yrs old - no dead pixels - knock on wood.

[therookie]

you always get them in the wrong places every time

[Shell]

I just bought a 42" INSIGNIA 1920x1080 1000:1 8ms LCD for only $1300CDN, which I am now using as my computer monitor! :bday: I can now sit on the couch and play CS:S, sweet.
And all of those 2'073'600 pixels are flawless, I carefully checked them all... because I HATE DEAD PIXELS!!1!

My 32" 720p 800:1 8ms Acer had 1 stuck pixel... but it rubbed out.

"I refuse to buy any piece of technology that's not cost effective.", Whoops... well, it was a good price.

[RollingThunder]

None
NEC 90GX2

[Bugalaman]

Zero on my Samsung 226BW and one on my 730B (lower right corner, nothing that bugs me at all)

[netmask]

I've got one in the upper right corner of my LG-L1750SQ

[Illyest]

Just bought an Acer 26" AL2616 LCD from the Egg and am loving it. No dead pixels (yet)and great image quality.

[Big Mike]

Samsung 225BW: 0
HP ZE4145: 0
my former room mate's 17" samsung: 2, though the monitor was way used and looked like it had been thrown in a box and carried around for a week...
I think I'd kill myself, or perhaps less extreme, buy a new monitor, if I had a dead pixel, his monitor annoys the crap out of me, my eyes always go straight to those dead pixels

[Orgy]

I have an LG 19" LCD. I said I had no dead pixels in the poll, but after running DPB I noticed that one pixel looks a little dim when displaying bright colors. I had to look really close to notice it, and I've never noticed it outside of DPB though.

[reclaimer122]

Heh, I got one after carrying my Dell 1704FPT sticking out of a duffel bag to my friend's house (we played with 3 XBOX 360s :))

[imposter]

Only reason why my monitors have dead pixels is because my bro and sister do not know how to clean the lcd =P. My pc's are locked so they dare not use mine =).

[Springbok]

Zero on my 2405, couldn't be happier with this monitor...

Except for the fact that I want a 3007WFP now

[gigabit]

1 dead pixel on my Acer X192Wdb .Other wise i like this monitor very much.The pixel is in the upper right hand corner.No big deal it looks like a spec of dust.

[Viol8ted]

none here :) samsung 225bw :P

[WYTOUT]

I just developed a whole dead column today (blue and red only... green lights fine) on my 6 week old Viewsonic VX2235wm :sigh: Definitely the monitor. tested it on more than one cable and computer. Maybe costco will do an exchange for me tonight, so I don't have to RMA to Viewsonic.

Edit 6/14/07: well I got another one... 2 dead and one blazing bright green stuck pixel right in the center of my view... great. I think they're going to give me a third one tonight, I do I do, like it or not.

Edit 6/14, late in the day: 3rd ones the charm... well it has 1 "hot pixel" at the bottom, but it acts like a normal pixel on a dark background.. i.e. off... close enough :shrug: the deal i got on it, I'm keeping it, guess I'm satisfied enough with this one.

I used to like viewsonic products... even their budget lines were always good quality. Looks like QC is being flushed down the toilet w/ everything else these days.

[deathman20]

Got non, zero, natta on my 2405FPW 2,304,000 fully functioning pixels :)

I did have a 17" that had 1 dead pixel, blue, but it really never bothered me much.

[Evil_inc]

I only have one LCD but when I do encounter a dead pixel I just rub it back it, works everytime.

[iii9ix3]

no dead pixels on my two 19" benq's at home. and 1 dead pixel on one of my 20" dells at work.

[raven]

I have one pixel stuck on red on my Dell 2007wfp. I only noticed it when windows was booting and there was nothing else on the screen. It really is only noticeable at times when the screen is almost completely black, so it doesn't bother me at all.


Raven

[EmAn]

I have a Hanns-g HW191D and i have one stuck pixel on red but when i game it is covered by stuff and i dont even notice it at all

[powersupply]

So far 0

[Mac]

Just read this thread and voted no dead pixels, but then realized I should probably look a little closer. That is when I noticed 2 dead pixels on the lower right corner of the screen. But it is hardly noticeable on such a big monitor with such a high resolution (dell 3007 WFP). So I am not disappointed at all and probably would have never noticed it if it weren't for this thread.

[bad99]

none on my samsung 205BW

[asusradeon]

cant find any on my ma-782kc, cant remember manafacturer..thats the product number.

[HousERaT]

Just got a refurbished 37 inch Westinghouse. Only two stuck pixels, one you can hardly see.

[Special7]

I have a 17" Dell 1703FP and there is one odd pixel at the very bottom of the screen that you can only notice when the monitor is showing black bars for odd resolutions etc, otherwise you cannot see it cause it doesn't exist unless there is no signal going to that section of the screen.

[FLCLFan]

I dont have any dead pixels but i do have 1 stuck pixel on my Hanns-G.

[delman]

I had originally bought an AMW from Fry's and it had 6, so I returned it but chose not to get another one. I then ended up getting the one that I have now which is a Hyundai B90A and in my opinion it is very good and does not have any dead pixels.

[theELVISCERATOR]

brand new Sammie 216bw no dead pixels....looking good too I might add.

[imposter]

to bad i already voted,

But went to get my dad a monitor from bestbuy, came out to 120 for a acer 19inch widescreen, two series of monitors had dead pixels on it. :shrug:

[Karnal]

None :D

[Hookem]

Just got a Samsung 226BW from NewEgg...Box had a hole punch in the end...Bag with the LCD in it had a rip on the screen side.

Had a sinking feeling...Pulled it out of the bag and there was a smudge on the screen right where the bag was ripped.

Took some warm water with a old t-shirt and it came off...Whew !!!!

Still had me worried...Connected it up and viola !!!!!

No dead pixels...Color was spot on...Had to turn the brightness down and turned on the MagicColor...Nice monitor...Right out of the tore up box with ripped up bag right over the screen.

I guess sometimes you get lucky.

[shirker]

none on my dell 2005fpw, and no backlight issues either

[Anjow]

Just got my 3rd LG Flatron 22" (model L226WTQ) and it's got one single dead pixel on it. It's actually the fourth I've had my hands on since one was sent back due to backlight problems, I don't think 1 pixel out of 7.056*10^6 is bad.

[MIAHALLEN]

2,073,600 working pixels on my 32" Sharp (link in my sig). And that was after shipping from New York State to Mainland Japan via USPS & Army mail....I was sweating ba!!s when I pulled it out of the box for it's first inspection. Whew!

[th3]

I have zero tolerance for dead pixels, its not like i would have accepted a similar problem in the days of CRT, why should they be accepted now? Technology is supposed to go forward, LCD panel manufacturers took a big step backwards when they joined up to force buyers to accept dead pixels.

On topic: Got 2x Acer 22's, no dead pixels.

[ancalime]

NONE and I am loving it! Samsung 204bw. :D

[hawk072]

Just got my first LCD, an NEC 20WMGX2 last week. It's perfect, no dead pixels, no backlight bleed. Upgraded from a 19" Sony CPD-G420S Trinitron and so far I don't miss the Sony.

[S1n3p]

this is one of my biggest fears in PC, and it been keeping me away from buying unknown brands. so far, i've had my luck with Dell's LCDs (currently have 5).

[benscoobert]

I've had 2x lg19 inch
1x lg 42 inch tv
1x 24 inch widescreen lg

no dead pixels on any

I also think even 1 dead pixel is unacceptable

[Shiggity]

1 on my 17" sony

0 on my 20" samsung

[M Diddy]

1 small, not very noticeable, red stuck pixel on my 2007wfp,

0 dead or stuck pixels on my DS-263N.

All in all, I'm a happy camper. :D

[Colton H]

Don't know if this counts but I noticed my screen is started to tear. In the right top corner there was kinda some dead pixels then it started to move toward the center now there is 3 thick lines leading up to the corner. Kinda of sucks but I have gotten used to it now. Might pick up a new monitor but I only have 100$ and wont settle for less then a 24" haha so I can wait.

[magick_man]

there were 2-3 pixels stuck on black on my apple monitor.
but after rubbing that spot with my finger they went away.

so no dead pixels for me.

[tom10167]

I've owned 3 LCDs, a 30", 24", and a 19", that's a LOT of pixels. Not one dead, frozen, anything ever

[gigabit]

I just got a new DEll 2007FPb 20.1 LCD.The frist one i recieved had 5 dead pixels in the upper right hand corner.Contacted DEll and they sent me a new one.I had it on the second day which was today...:beer:I couldnt believe my eyes when i got home from work and it was sitting in my living room.I opened it up and crossed my fingers and turn it on YES not a single Flaw.Im happy now..My old Acer X192w had a single dead pixel which didnt bother me.But i wanted this S-IPS monitors panel 100% and it is

[Riverslide SS]

None in 3 years...

[gigabit]

Oops I forgot all about my 32 inch Gaming LCD/Bedroom TV is a Sylvania LC320SS9 Limited Edition and it has no Dead Pixels.:burn:

[Italidonian]

None on my 1907FP.....and it's about 3 years old.

[4GHZ_or_bust]

My main monitor is a Mag Innovation 19" monitor that I got off eBay for only about $90. It was a "customer return" and the seller regularly sold such merchandise. The one I got was advertised as having a dead pixel.

When it arrived, I found none (using full screen all white, black, red, green, and blue). Maybe all those shaking during shipping helped cure the dead pixel? For $90 I'm not complaining. 19" LCD usually goes for a lot more than 90.

[Kevin007]

0 dead pixels on my BenQ FP241W :)

[Carnil]

<smug>CRTs don't get dead pixels</smug>

[nightelph]

Just picked up a peripheral Dell 1908fp. One dead pixel. :(

[Tiando]

I first had a blueish pixel on the right of my screen and I didnt really notice it. Now that pixel works perfectly fine but now I have 3 greyish pixels at the top of my screen they are in a little block together and its really annoying :S

[hajalie24]

I have around 4 i think, but i hardly notice them unless it's a white screen

[w2richwood]

have one on my acer 1914 since day one but dont bother me
Rich

[deathman20]

Still zero on my 2405FPW after 3+ Years.

Now if I want to count work ones I've had....
2x VeiwSonic 20", 2x ViewSonic 19", 6x ViewSonic 22" Widescreen = Zero Dead Pixels
1x ViewSonic 20" that was given to me from someone else, 1 Dead Pixel, red to be exact, not very noticable at all.

Oh yeah and 1 PSP zero dead pixels.

[Theocnoob]

I have one dead pixel. Showed its ugly head about twenty days after purchase.

Called Samsung. Lady said 'yes one pixel is acceptable'


and I was like... "how can X amount of defectiveness be ok?"

but yes, apparently X amount of defectiveness is ok with Samsung. I forget the number, maybe seven... but I need a 'minimum number of dead pixels' to effect a warranty claim.

I told her I though this was absurd and to take down my name and adress along with a statement as to how offended I was and that I would never buy another samsung product, which received several mmhm, mmhm, mmhm, mmhm, ok, thanks for calling samsung, click...

[Enablingwolf]

As much as it would tork me also... Newegg even states:

There must be a minimum of 8 dead pixels to declare an LCD display defective and eligible for return.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001309


A dead pixel would drive me bonkers.

[Brandontw]

I didn't read every single page of this thread. But i had one "stuck pixel"(bright green pixel) on my Acer monitor.

I used this little applet:
http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php

While it is running, move it over your stuck pixel, then massage the area gently, using a rag or something, the stuck pixel should disappear.

It came back after about 6 months or so, i tried massaging it without the applet, that worked too. Stuck pixel free for over a year now.

[Cuiiey]

No brand moniter from asian and with no dead pixels FTW :)

[Lian Li]

My Lenovo is perfect

[ihrsetrdr]

Just one dead pixel on my Asus lappy.

[Gabe3]

my 22" viewsonic VG2230wm has none and my 17" hp f1703 has 1.

[Firestrider]

I had no dead pixels but I had something much worse (IMO) with my Samsung 2232BW, a mura: http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/sony-xbr-mura-clouding-2007033142.htm

[Grayfox]

0 still using a 15" CRT

& aren't they called STUCK PIXELS because their stuck on a set color
& dead are black

That depends on how LCD is made. Some displays white when all pixel are "off" and black when all pixel are "on" while others are opposite.

15" CRT... those are still made? I thought any CRT under 22" are no longer made. Even the POS displays have gone LCD long ago.
