icecream Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I've got one pixelerror topleft on my screen, it isn't really noticable, you only see a little blue spot when it's on a dark colour, but on black or white background, it's gone. my previous laptop had a dead pixel, it was like a little dustparticle lying on the screen.

blachole Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 They can be a minor annoyance, but if you only got 1 or 2 most people just have to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDog Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Could be worse - friend of mine had a few red pixel errors...don't buy cheap - lesson learnt ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellBender Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I've seen at least 3 on my screen at some point or another... However, they aren't noticable at all unless I turn on a movie or something and sit 2 inches away from the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phemo Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 My Samsung 17 inch TFT has a weird one that shows sometimes. For the most part it's ok, but after coming back from a LAN one weekend I had one that was red around 2 inches from the left border of the screen and halfway down. Turned it back on the next day and it'd gone. About 2 months later it came back, then 2 hours later it was gone ... not seen it again for a few months now, not that I'm complaining :) A single red pixel wasn't a major issue, it was just annoying because I knew it was there.

Sporkguy Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 My laptop screen could be in better condition. When checking my hair out in a pocket mirror with sharp edges once, I accidently dropped it and now there's a huge fking scratch in the lower right hand side of my screen. Plenty of specs of dirt to be spoken of, but I still havnt found anything good enuf to clean my screen with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Floyd Veteran Posted June 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 22, 2004 get it replaced if its still under the warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 you can't get it replaced if it doesn't reach some amount of pixel errors, and there's a difference between some pixel errors, like dead pixels, or pixels that are fully white or juste one colour of the pixel that stays alive. here's a document that explains it, but it's in German :s : http://www.service.targa.co.uk/dokumente/Pixelerror.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
