Dead pixles: How deadly?

(1/2) > >>

GoGeTa006:
I just bought a Toshiba L 505 for my mother and discovered it had a dead pixel, I returned it and ordered a new one, it arrived yesterday, again with a dead pixel. My mom hates waiting cause she is working on a project ATM and would like to stay with the laptop. . .Im not sure tho cause IIRC and AFAIK dead pixels tend to "kill" other pixles near them?
can someone confirm that? should I return it? Its just a little tiny pixel that she can barely notice, what Im worried about is the dead pixel spreading.

Dead pixels are contagious. They're kind of like the chicken box. Once you see one, there's just more and more of them!! Soon you can't see anything at all! I would advise your mother to see a health-care professional right away.

Yes, there's a chance that it's a stuck pixel. If that's the case, you can rub it out or sometimes it will fix itself.

I've never heard of dead pixels killing surrounding pixels. I have friends who've had dead pixels and have just put up with it for years, but they have never spread.

I had a Sony LCD monitor that had a blue stuck pixel and I had it for years. Never spread
