    I had a large black speck on my display a few months ago.
    Concerned, I tried wiping it off with my finger. It was under the plastic, so I could not touch it.
    Suddenly, it started moving.
    It was an ant crawling around inside of my monitor, somewhere between the front plastic and the backlight.
    There was a live ant searching for food inside my LCD monitor fourteen floors above the ground.
    Life always finds a way...

      I fucking hate ants swear to GOD. If I could round them up in a basin and torture them in the most inhumane way I would. I hate those motherfuckers more tthan any insect, including giant spiders and they are on the level of the ganglionis tentacle moth. This summer, they started crawling in and out of my 1 year old HP Probook (expensive sixcore laptop) and are likely causing wonky malfunctions. Before this summer when those fuckers weren't around, my laptop never had any issues, let alone funky ones. Last summer we didn't get fucking ants and my laptop never fucked up. They also bite, fucking gross. Most likely caused by a neighbor.

    I actually have this really weird phenomenon where one single pixel sort of in the center-left part of my screen will just be completely red, but not all the time. It's not "stuck" because it will only very occasionally turn and stay red for a random period of time, and only when the screen area around it is relatively dark. When I first got the monitor I was disappointed that there was a red pixel basically right in the middle of it, but now I only really see it once every now and then.

    I bought an BenQ XL2411 and within the first 3 months of use I had a stuck pixel dead center in my screen. I tried all those little fixes to no avail. Amazon thankfully had a really nice return with me, they let me keep the broken one until they shipped out the new one. I will definitely be ordering monitors from Amazon more often. That was 3-4 years ago, so far so good, knock on wood.

    @mcmike89 Před 3 lety +8

    I got a stuck/dead pixel. (Don't know which pixel type I have) But it's so small, you have to really glance at it closely, but other than that. I can understand why Alienware, ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, ViewSonic, Vizio, etc. Don't need to take back the monitor/laptop screen. But if it's a gaming monitor/laptop with a lot of dead/stuck pixels, you're entitled to a replacement or refund. But if it's only just one tiny little pixel, then it's not worth trying to spend a couple hundred dollars again just to get a perfect monitor/laptop screen with zero imperfections and possibly getting another monitor/laptop screen and may still have dead/stuck pixels anyway. Technology isn't perfect, sadly. One little dead/stuck pixel on your gaming monitor/laptop screen doesn't really affect performance, just an annoyance.

      Your comment is my exact situation. Got a sweet Acer Predator with one stuck pixel. And I've been obsessed over it. Warranty obviously doesn't cover just one and I can return it. But just as you say... Would I return another one if the next one has 2 or another problem? Sometimes you just gonna accept that not everything you buy will be perfect.

    • @jort93z
      @jort93z Před 6 lety +4

      There is an iso standard for the amount of dead pixels. its defined in EN ISO 9241-307. It has 5 pixel fault classes from 0-IV, which correspond to the amount of dead pixels per megapixel. It replaced an older standard. The old standard allowed 0 errors at pixel fault class I, the new one allows one dead and one hot per megapixel.
      But most standard displays are spec'd for class II, so thats 4 whole pixels broken(two "hot" and two dead) per megapixel at most.
      It depends what spec they give for the display. Some premium displays even get spec'd with class 0, which is zero faults. But usually they are class I or II so they don't have to take any back just because one pixel dies.
      edit: messed up some numbers, corrected.

Greg, If I were you I'd probably get a replacement model, like you said it's on the side of the screen but if you're buying new, you should receive a flawless product, especially with something like an XPS 15.

      I had a similar issue with mine, though mine was a Korean monitor from CrossOver. It came out with one dead (it was and still is black) and a lot of stuck pixels, that I fixed pressing them, and then some reappeared over the time, but after almost two years of use, these were fixed again. Now I have two stucks/dead pixels (they are orangeish), one on almost the middle of the screen and the other on top of it.
      The dead pixel I have is on the right bottom corner, that doesn't bother me like the stuck ones that I can't really fix. I told about these to the seller and he refunded like 90$, so it was ok.
      Most companies get their panels from the same supply and jsut slap their own stand and firmware over them, so nobody is safe here.

    Had at least 6 different dead pixels. contacted them, even elevated the situation to a higher rank, and they declared I could not receive a replacement unless there were over 18 individual deal pixels or 6 clusters. Also, they refused to call them dead pixels. They were referred to as "Bright Pixels", despite the fact they were dead.

    I had a stuck pixel (hot?) that was always white on my Sharp Aquos Quattron LED-LCD TV. Only way I fixed it was applying pressure. I know I got lucky because I was pressing decently hard on a very small point on the screen with two eye glass cleaner clothes and a ball point pen. The screen flickered a couple times while I did this but somehow the pixel isn't stuck anymore without damaging the TV. This was 5 years ago and never had an issue with the TV after that and I still use it today.

After several weeks, they let me know that the screen and battery had defects and they had to send me a new model. When I received the new model, it was in a box with writing on it (as if someone had sent their laptop back to Dell in it) and there was a refurbished sticker on the back, but the storage was now 512 GB and the OS was Windows 10 Pro.

  • @deusprogrammer_thekingofspace

    I'm here to lend insight that might help some of you accept your dead pixel. I want you to go look at yourself in the mirror and identify one flaw about yourself that you can't fix. It doesn't have to be something catastrophic. It can be something as simple as assymetry in your face, a blemish, the thickness of your eyebrows, whatever...just find something. Now I want you to imagine all of the other amazing things about you. The other 3686399 awesome things about you that you like. Now go look at the dead pixel on your monitor and then think about the other 3686399 pixels that work great. You and your monitor have now bonded over your imperfections. You are imperfect and so is your monitor, and yet you are both still beautiful despite your flaws.

But any screen that I was able to massage the pixel back to life, it eventually never came back.

    Here's one for ya. Got an Apple HD Cinema Display (23", Hitachi S-IPS, was given to me by original owner, used in studio until power supply ended itself). Power Supply was all it needed and have been using it ever since. However - and this is apparently something these early units (April 2005) were known for - temporary image retention. Usually worse when hotter from higher backlight settings, and typically goes away within 20 minutes. But it is an odd thing and usually is noticeable only on gray backgrounds. Appears to have a hot pixel but I rarely ever notice that.
    Overall I'll say even with these defects it's FAR better than the Samsung TN panel it replaced... The reds on that thing looked pink it was so awful...

    It’s 2018 why do consumers comply with the dead pixel or defected screens. I say screens should work fully out the box. These companies make enough as it is tbh. I mean come the hell on now.

    • @Speedyheart

      yeah any defect on a monitor is a defect and you should be entitled to a replacement. unfortunately not many countries have great consumer protection...

    • @mark2220
      @mark2220 Před 5 lety +1

      Don't comply. If its a big box store just lie and say it didn't meet your needs... or make it faulty in a way a non-techie customer service associate won't be aware of.

    Never had a dead pixel until last month. My 11 year old secondary monitor that I had since I was a kid (those old school dell monitors) finally got some dead pixels. It started by 1 but then started to get 4 dots thic and expanding horizontally. Now there's a black void line in my screen. Not mad at all though. Asus 144hz ips panel still going strong on its first year.

    My very first Nintendo DS went back to the manufacturer for a broken hinge repair, and it came back to me with a stuck pixel right in the middle of the top screen (stuck on red) and what seemed to be an overheating problem (would randomly shut off after 30-60 mins of gameplay).

  • @bobhumplick4213

    there are guides to unstuck pixels. one of the steps to try is to unplug the display. press on the spot with the bad pixels. then plug it in and turn it on and after the screen comes on realease it and if it doesnt work then maybe lightly massage it. there are other things to try. just google it

    Great vid. Recently bought Samsung C34F791 34" ultrawide 3440x1440p free sync VA panel. Gorgeous monitor, but the experience is marred by a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Also some hot pixels on the right middle area of the screen. I didn't know the proper term for those until this video, so thank you for that. Because of the sweet deal I got from the retailer (about $600), I was not a fan of returning for a refund so I could just pay more for a replacement later (looks like $750 now). I contacted Samsung per the warranty, and even though it is a small number of problematic pixels, they have agreed to fix or replace it. On the phone, they did ask about pixel location, so bear in mind, if you have this problem, that factor could weigh heavily with respect to what the manufacturer will do for you. I am waiting on the monitor's return arrival this week. So far so good with Samsung USA.

    I have a 50" vizio TV from about 3 years ago that won't display red on a single pixel. Nothing I tried would bring it back. I could have returned it, but chose not to because I could easily end up with a display with worse defects.

  • @photonboy999
    @photonboy999 Před 6 lety

    My DELL U2711 had a "zero dead pixel" return policy. That's for higher-end models, and I'm not sure if they still have that or not but probably (I also got a one-day return with pre-paid waybill plus packaging without spending a single cent when my monitor failed). For PIXELS again, I've also seen policies such as:
    1) must have more than NINE dead pixels anywhere on the screen, or
    2) more than THREE in a given diameter (like an inch... similar to a grouping in shooting).

    My LG 24mk430 had recently gotten a little problem. One day I was doing digital art, and then the very next day I woke up and noticed not just a little dot but a whole little black speck underneath my screen. I didn't know if it was dust underneath the screen or a cluster of dead pixels that all just appeared at once. So I tried opening my monitor and ended up cracking my screen. So a little problem became a big problem. I've decided to never open a monitor again. *Sigh*

    I powered my Chromebook Pixel up one day after a month or so of not using it and the screen had a horizontal line down the middle of the screen which pretty much made it unusable, and of course it was out of warranty. Luckily my Google-fu led me to instructions to troubleshoot the issue by powering down the laptop and pressing the spots that were stuck, which was pretty much the entire middle of the screen. Powered it back on and the line was mostly gone, gave a couple more presses on the screen and the line was completely gone and hasn't come back sense :)

    I'm using a pretty cheap chromebook with a TN panel that's not quite 720p. Sometimes when I use certain websites or just general use some random pixels will turn grey for a bit, then return back to normal like nothing happened. I dunno what the issue is here so yeah.

    Funny this video just came out considering I bought a Samsung CFG7 Screen LED-Lit Monitor 23.5" (C24FG73FQN) from amazon and the first one had a dead pixel, so I sent it back, the second one had a dead pixel, so I sent It back again and got a third with a dead pixel so I just bought an Alienware 25 gaming monitor. Going to be so upset if the Alienware comes with a dead pixel as well. I really wanted the Samsung though for the VA panel and the quantum dot technology but apparently, Samsung QC if terrible.

    When I got a new Dell monitor back in February I noticed a green stuck pixel right near the center. I gently pushed the area around it and it went away. Only happened maybe 5 more times within a month of getting it and hasn’t been stuck since. Maybe it was an easier fix since it’s a TN panel?

    I just got a beautiful new ASUS Zephyrus 14" laptop with two small slight scuffs about the size of a pixel on the display, but it looks otherwise perfect in regards to backlight bleed and color evenness. I've purchased so many displays over the years and pretty much all of them have some defects, and this is minor enough that I'm not going to play the display lottery and risk it being even worse.
