need help on small defect for lcd

[argoldst]

I am experiencing a strange problem on my dell lcd and need some help.

This defect does not show up on any color test (to locate dead pixels).

However, when certain colors come up in certain locations, the pixels (in a straight line across the monitor) go kind of crazy (it is sort of uncontrollable flashing.

If anyone knows how to post a pic here I would be happy to post a pic of it.

Any idea what this is or how it can be fixed? If it can't be fixed, should I return it to dell?

I had this problem too. I just ignored it though.

Hopefully someone knows something about this!

EDIT: I tried to get it to do it again, but I can't.

A good source for hosting pictures is pics.bbzzdd.com, just register, and start hosting. Its free.

no one has any ideas?

In the pic I posted, the off pixels actually flucuate (change colors REALLY fast).

Bad cable? Using VGA or DVI? Try the opposite and see if it still happens.
