Only after we split Programming off from the Software - Apps, Programming, and Games forum.

HAhahah, initial lackluster sales as well as bad publicity will do that.

Sony says the off-colored pixel problem is common in all LCD screens.

Fixed

My first PSP had 7 dead pixels (4 white, 2 red, 1 blue), and bad trouble reading discs. My second PSP reads discs perfectly and has no dead pixels. Of course, the first one had a perfect casing and the second had a small nick in the screen plastic out of the box.

I wonder how many perfect PSPs there are out there, can't be that many...

Yeah, of the 8 LCDs I've owned, only one has had any dead pixels, and it had 2, on a 1280x1024 display.

Yes, sorry I didn't point that out, they're both launch US systems. First one was a system from the batch that didn't have the box taped shut or have the SpiderMan2 sticker on the box (although the disc was in the box), the second was from a batch that had the sticker and was taped shut.

And I work at the store this was bought from, it wasn't a case of someone opening the PSPs hence no tape - they really came from Sony untaped. We got an e-mail about it.

They're annoying. I'd tolerate a couple, I guess.

I havent seen a single dead pixel on any of the 100+ Dell LCD screens at the hospital where I work, or my 19in one at home.

We have a CS lab here at school with about 30 Dell 1901FP and none have dead pixels.

yeah seriously, who would play counter-strike on flat panels?

 

[jamesbond007]

I gotta admit, NFS4, all my LCDs from Dell, whether it's a laptop or LCD flat-panel, I've never had one with a dead pixel either!

I installed all of them. I couldn't care less if you believe me or not.

30 LCD's
1280x1024 resolution
39,321,600 pixels and not ONE bad one???

I'm not saying it's impossible, but that is crazy

 

[0roo0roo]

my lcd doesn't have any bad pixels, neither does my laptop. or my phone.. sony is just trying to make as many as possible in a very short amount of time. and i guess yield suffers. they delayed europes launch to ensure supply for the us. so its not as if they are making too many...

 

[mrSHEiK124]

Only dead pixels I have ever seen in my life were one on my Samsung 193P (1 out of 1280x1024) and 1 on my Nintendo DS, although I didn't expect to see one there.
