Just received my new exchanged Dell 1901FP from them and now this. I thought everything was ok when i got it but now that I have been able to use it more I have noticed that it has what seems to be rolling stuck pixels. When I open some web pages there seems to be stuck pixel(s) on that page, that pixel(s) does not stay at one stationary location but rolls with the page as I'm scrolling up or down. These are larger than a pixel and seem more like this size " . " matter of fact it's the same size as a period and sometimes they will be in a pattern of a line with space in between them.

I have not done anything else to my PC except change out the LCD, the video card and all hardware is the same. Did I receive yet another defective LCD? If it happens that I did receive yet another defective LCD from them should I try for another 1901 or just wait and get another brand, such as a Planar when to go on sale again.

Sounds like your video card, not your monitor.

Dead pixels do NOT roll when you scroll.

NasdaqTrader889, I personally think it's the combination of IE and the drivers that causing the rolling dead pixel. Because I see the same symptoms with my system. I'm using Samsung 900p CRT + G4 Ti4200.

BTW, how's 1901FP working out for you?
