LCD displays may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots

They got sent back and sold off to compgeeks for a reason

care to reveal why?

 

[gotsmack]

dead pixels in the middle of the screen.

 

[MontyBurns]

ah. missed that in the product description.

 

[Kuhlman]

It's gone. Sold out. I guess alot of people didn't care about dead pixels on a monitor this huge.

Notes:
LCD displays may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark
spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in all products by all vendors
and is not specific to any one vendor or brand. Below are the acceptable
amounts of "dot defects" for LCD displays that we sell:
Total Defects: 8
Bright or Dark Dots (random): 4
Bright or Dark Dots (2 adjacent): 2
Bright or Dark Dots (3 adjacent): 0
Minimum distance between defects: 15mm (bright to bright dots); 5mm (dark to
dark dots)

Too bad.

Nope, there's currently no way to 'repair' a stuck pixel. Only choices are accept the defect or pitch the panel.

 

[PLaYaHaTeD]

I've heard that if you massage the pixel.....if you stroke the pixel........if you caress the pixel, then sometimes they wake up.

Just what i heard

 

[cownipples]

Making love to pixels lol this turned into an x-rated monitor molestation conversation! J/K Having fun!

 

[Kuhlman]

Don't scoff. If you fondle them they will get aroused back to life.

 

[IgoByte]

Guys...

get a life!

 

[eric01]

No seriously, SOMETIMES massaging a dead pixel can revive it. I have an IBM LCD which arrived with a green and a blue stuck pixel. Rubbed them both a bit with my knuckle, and it went away. Doesn't always work though; an older laptop has two stuck pixels and no amount of massaging has done anything

for 900 dollars it better be perfect

hmmm i didnt know the 2000fp had a/v . i guess i just assumed it didnt since its a less common feature in business type monitors.

The Dell 2000fp is smller 20 compared to 22. Its no widescreen so not as good for watching movies but the resolution kind of blows for me...........

 

[lasergecko]

2000fp's KICKASS. 1600x1024???? What the hell is that?!?!?!?!

 

[MontyBurns]

This is a widescreen monitor. It couldn't display at 1600 x1200... the screen isn't that proportion.



I'll give another plug to the 2000fp. Best monitor I've ever owned.
