Dead Pixel Question?
The first time I bought it, it had one pixel that would not change color (it was red).
It bothered me alot, I returned it and got it replaced.
This time around I look for one and found a blue pixel that would not change color.
I really do not want to go through the hassle of going to the retail store and exchanging again.
What I am concerned is that if this "dead" will affect my viewing experiance in the long run. I mean if it is likely that the pixels around it will also suffer the fate that one did.
Do you recommend replacing again, is there any way to fix this?
THanks
Answer:
That is the nature of LCD and DLP technology. We are talking about millions of pixels. 1 in a million isn't bad odds. But, in manufacturing, it is impossible to guarantee the perfect LCD panel or DLP mirrors.
For one pixel, I would just deal with it. I am actually surprised that your store actually let you exchange. Most stores and manufacturers don't consider anything less than 5 pixels as a defect.
Anyways, you have a "stuck" pixel. Dead pixel would remain black, meaning no light is passing through the pixel.
Let's say you exchange it one more time and you get the perfect LCD. There is nothing that will prevent it from having another stuck or dead pixel in 6 months. It's almost like you are trying to prevent the inevitable.
If you can see the dead pixel from where you are sitting, then you are sitting too close to the TV. If you are only seeing it when your face is up to the screen, then stop being so picky.
You probably have an LCD TV, and this is one of the
problems that you can encounter with this technology.
I would return the set and go for something different such
as DLP or Plasma.
At this stage the single dead cell will not affect your viewing
but it that area of the screen has some sort of defect it
may grow to other areas over time, the only way to fix this
is to replace the entire display (will not be cheap)
Samsung makes a great DLP system.
I have two LCD televisions. One also has a dead pixel and it is really annoying but once you get used to it, then it will be fine and it will not cause any long-term damage. However, I would recommend sending your television back in and replacing it with a new one. There is no way that you should have to be annoyed or suffer because of a defect with your new product.
