Dead pixles: How deadly?

<< < (2/2)

vuzedome:
Dead pixels are...... deadly, but stuck ones are ok, I have one, it's been 2 years already.

nstgc:
I have a pixel thats stuck at 100% blue. It was like that when I unboxed it. I can't tell its there unless I look. Its there, has been there for years, and is still the only pixel with a problem.

lapa321:
Dead Pixels are white (The LCD's neutral color), stuck pixels are opaque (or partly opaque). I'd prefer a completely stuck pixel (all three colors stuck) than dead one. A black stuck pixel on a white background is saturated by the surrounding bright pixels. A dead pixel on a black background will cause you to zero in on it when playing any kind of game. I've had a stuck pixel on my 22" since i bought it and i barely notice it. It's been a year and so far it's still the only one.


Since it's a specific problem, how about bringing it to an authorized service center and have them replace the LCD rather than replacing the whole unit. Quality control for replacement parts is often better than factory.
