Well, I got back from the store with my new Acer, hooked it up, rubbed my hands in anticipation and, BAM, several stuck pixels. Not on the side either, about a third of the way up and two thirds over from the left. A whole cluster of em. Was a bit disappointed to say the least. So I did an online stock check and found one out of the way place that was still selling them. Went in and exchanged it, brought the new one home, hooked it all up again and, no dead pixels.

The only thing was that this new one had an older manufacturing date then the one I returned. It looks quite similar but I did notice this model had a bit worse backlight bleeding on the top and bottom edges. I think also the color uniformity is a bit worse. The place was a bit out of the way, they still had a stack of about a dozen. Im definitely thinking of packing it all up again and trying to wrangle another exchange, but part of me thinks it may be hopeless and I should just stick with what I have. It is definitely an improvement over my last monitor. By the way, the one I returned was made in June 2007. The one I got here was made in April. So I guess I just have to play with it a bit more and decide. Maybe a drink will help...
