Just Got my Dell 1800FP

Ordered on Wednesday around noon and received it on Friday around noon even though I chose ground shipping! Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised =D. Unfortunately, there's one dead pixel (black) at the bottom right hand corner and I tried massaging it with a toothpick but no go. Would you guys exchange it in hopes of a dead pixel free display or live with the minor hindrance? It's hooked up through DVI and it looks pretty damn good. The only other complaint is the relatively large footprint. I was expecting more of a narrow rectangle rather than a pretty big square. Finally, my eyes can say thank you.

You lucky bastard! Yes, I would keep it and not bother exchanging it due to one bad pixel. Imagine if you went through all of that trouble to get another and it had maybe two or three bad pixels? LOL...you will really go crazy then.

I've been drooling over those but a house is my priority right now....damn priorities

1 dead pixel is not enough for an RMA. You can return it, but Dell wont RMA you it unless you have several dead ones (the policy is different for every OEM).

Yes, Sir! I'm terribly sorry, Sgt. Zulu.
Yea, whatever

I'll probably just keep it. I'm moving into the dorms on Sunday so no point in exchanging it. I can hardly notice it when I'm gaming.
