just got my first LCD and god damn it, it has 1 red pixel stuck!! not that noticable.. but its annoying.. and the place I got it from doesnt cover this :(

is this common? other than that.. the monitor is great.. will test for some ghosting soon .

edit- never mind.. I just tested it with doom3 and because its a dark game.. the red pixel is VERY annoying :( oh welll.. I'll have to live with it i guess.. hope it goes away :p hopefully it wont be too noticable with the way it will be used ;) hehe wink wink.. ill update u ppl on it about a month later.

Not a single solitary one that I've noticed.

Yeah, it looks like a little peice of dust on the screen. Every once in a while I try to wipe it off, but it always stays.

My 19" has a stuck white pixel just above the black bars in a widescreen movie. Otherwise hardly noticeable.

0 on the 17" Dell UltraSharp, but it does have the unique "Dell streak problem"

0 on the 20" Apple LCD, and no problems with the backlight. I :heart: Apple.

I have a 2 year old NEC that has one bad pixel that is sometimes there.

Interesting fact, I repair monitors for Acer and if you send in your monitor, and it has 1 dead pixel, we will replace it.

damn it, should have bought acer instead... :(

by the way, i have four dead pixels on my norwood micro 17" lcd but they are hardly recognizable so therefore it doesn't bother me.

Try the dead pixel cleaner?

http://www.pspupdates.com/2005/06/dead-pixel-cleaner.html

Sounds like it'd be worth a shot for PSP owners.

:thumbsup: I've been meaning to give that a go (one stuck pixel).

Don't forget to post your results! :D

I have a single red sub-pixel that is stuck, but it is only noticable when the surrounding area is black (or close to black). Not really a bother, since I can't even tell it's there unless I concentrate on it.
