I kinda know that I am hoping against all hope. But you never know, maybe those hundreds of (wounded or dead) pixels causing enormous black blotches at the bottom of my screen will come back when they dry? If there is a chance in a million I won't shop. If there isn't, I guess I am in the market for a new monitor, and the plant is dead meat!! We are talking about a 21" Hyundai L90D+ flat screen, (just not flat enough evidently).
