Hi Lavode!
I found an interesting article on dead pixels. Most companys have a policy about an acceptable number of dead pixels. Check it out: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/display/20030319/ OVERAM 1 defective pixel Apple 6 defective pixels Compaq 5 defective pixels IBM 8 defective pixels Dell 6 defective pixels H.P. 5 defective pixels Sony 5 defective pixels ViewSonic 5 defective pixels Enjoy!

I had purchased the 2 year replacement plan, so I took it back to CompUSA, and returned it. They gave me a new one, which also had a purple pixel in a different place. I took that back, and they couldn't show me one without a dead pixel of some sort in the display. >From the resources I have read, this is a quality control issue, and certainly isn't an acceptable defect. I know some people just grin and bear it, but I think for the price I should expect top quality. I eventually was able to return the monitor and buy an Apple 20" Cinema Display, which I had looked at in the store and could detect no dead pixels anywhere under any screen color. Since I went through 6 monitors, one of them a Samsung, it left me wondering. Are dead pixels just a fact of life for LCDs? TIA, Lavode -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
