How many dead pixels are on YOUR monitor? - GoFuckYourself.com

fuzzylogic · 11-06-2006, 11:00 PM

i just bought a 17" lcd with 2 dead pixels -- 1 being right in _the_fucking_middle_ of the screen

what should i do?
how many u got?

marketsmart · 11-06-2006, 11:01 PM

i dont have any...

that i know of..

$5 submissions · 11-06-2006, 11:02 PM

None so far (crossing fingers). I have a Sony Vaio laptop. I just got it a few months ago and it would definitely suck to see a dead pixel so soon. My old Dell laptop had a few (took over a year to get the dead spots though).

5pm · 11-06-2006, 11:02 PM

bring it back.

Don't settle for shit!

sickkittens · 11-06-2006, 11:05 PM

Why not bring it back?

LiveDose · 11-06-2006, 11:06 PM

Zero so far, knock on wood. But I have on one my Canon point and shoot digital. Pisses me off. Happened after about 5 months...

martinsc · 11-06-2006, 11:08 PM

none... so far....

cause this is the 2nd lcd monitor out of 2 i have purchased that has dead pixels.

2 out of 2
from 2 different brands
from 2 different stores
from 2 different times.

is this bad luck?
i read somewhere that a lcd monitor can have up to 7 dead pixels and be shipped from factory

jacked · 11-06-2006, 11:13 PM

if you bought it from dell or gateway they have a dead pixel policy i forget what the minimum number of dead pixels needs to be for them to take the return.... but it's a lot more then two i think its 15 if i remember correctly

Yeah. Most manufactures won't cover repairs if there's only a few. There's nothing stopping you from returning it to the store though. (assuming you just got it)

Rankings · 11-06-2006, 11:18 PM

i have 0

notabook · 11-06-2006, 11:20 PM

Most professional monitors will have zero pixels, the rest seem to have about 2-5 on average. If it's a dead pixel you can try rubbing it out, I've had great success doing that. Get a plastic baggie and put your hand in it and rub around the dead pixel with one of your fingers, make sure to apply pressure but not too much. With any luck it'll bring it back.

starpimps · 11-06-2006, 11:25 PM

ive nver had a dead pixel on all 3 of my lcds, all samsung 21 inch
in your case im sure you can return the thing

nice tips notabook

Monitor 1 = 1 dead pixel
Monitor 2 = 1 dead bug... = 7/8 dead pixels
Monitor 3 = 2 dead bugs... = 14/18 dead pixels =/

Costco.com has a 3yr/6 month return for any reason policy. The 6 month warranty is for PC parts. You can buy from them online and return a item to one of their local stores too.

marketsmart · 11-07-2006, 02:44 AM

now i see one, damnit!

leftybogs · 11-07-2006, 02:47 AM

Cool, if it ever happens I'll try rubbing one out...

It's worth a shot.

Jakke PNG · 11-07-2006, 02:48 AM

I got none luckily on either of my desktop monitors. I have 1 on my laptop screen, but it's bottom left so no worries there.

salesman · 11-07-2006, 02:51 AM

when I bought my samsung lcd monitor i saw one dead pixel somewhere on the top, but after a week of using the monitor i canät find the pixel anymore and i noticed it never after

woj · 11-07-2006, 02:52 AM

zero, if you just bought it would return it...

I think Samsung has 0-dead pixels guarantee for a certain amount of time (atleast in Finland). I have 2 samsungs

Naughty · 11-07-2006, 02:56 AM

Three screens, zero dead pix

Yngwie · 11-07-2006, 02:57 AM

none, but a couples months back this happened to mine (see pic)

It's on warranty for another 2 years so I will be sending it back to get it replaced. Not sure exactly how this happened. Wasn't anything that I did.

sorry about the shitty pic. my webcam sucks haha

Jeesh, looks like somebody punched the monitor lol! My F-419 had a similar problem but without all the color, about 200-500 total pixels just randomly died at the top of the screen. Oddly enough they would come back for a while then just die again. Had to send it back to the factory to get fixed.

Matt 26z · 11-07-2006, 03:15 AM

I have one stuck pixel, and it's bright green!

More Booze · 11-07-2006, 03:18 AM

Non, but I will buy a 19" lcd so I'll probably get some dead pixels soon too ;)

Roy Boy · 11-07-2006, 03:19 AM

i have one too, i just notice it, damn....

MyNameIsNobody · 11-07-2006, 03:19 AM

What brand is it? and the other monitors you've bought? I have a samsung syncmaster 19" and it's been working like a charm for a year now. No dead pixels, no nothing.

My next monitor will definitly be a samsung

ya, that's what it looks like, but nothing was done at all.. I woke one morning, turned the monitor on and voila! FUBAR! lol

marko13 · 11-07-2006, 03:23 AM

selena · 11-07-2006, 04:50 AM

None on my Dell, knock on wood. My last monitor had 1, and it about drove me nuts.

notabook, that is a cool tip, and one I will keep in mind.

fallenmuffin · 11-07-2006, 04:55 AM

1... its so tiny i forget its there.. however when a browser is open its perfectly in the address bar and is slightly noticable.

EdgeXXX · 11-07-2006, 04:58 AM

I guess I've been fortunate because none of mine have dead pixels.

I have not had much success but you may wanna try to unstick it by using an animated gif comprised of three frames, one green, one blue, and one red. Set it to go fairly fast (.1 to .2 secs) and leave it on for a while. Many people report being able to unstick stuck pixels this way.

StarkReality · 11-07-2006, 05:26 AM

Samsung 19'' with zero dead pixels here, friend bought the same model and has 1.

If you just bought it, return it, just don't give the stuck pixel as a reason...
