My replacement NEC 2190 arrived today, and thankfully it at least starts up.
But it seems I replaced one problem with another.
I spotted at least 4 dead pixels, one somewhat annoyingly near the right/middle of the screen in clear view. The one near the middle is sort of clumpy and large.
How can one tell if that is a dead pixel or dust/material behind the screen? Is it possible to try to remove dust, or is that overly complex to do?
I can't be sure, but that may be a little bruising up top too. The backlight doesn't seem quite as consistent up there... a little darker. And its overall brightness seems a tad lacking too, not any brighter than my older broken one -- probably even less bright. Under hours it states about 6500 hrs, w/30K off, so it shouldn't be from usage. Assuming the hours used is accurate, that is.
Overall, I have to say I am somewhat disheartened by this little eBay purchase of mine. It appears the reseller I bought from didn't check this replacement for me, even though the one I initially purchased stated no screen problems, very bright screen, etc. It feels like they just grabbed whatever was on the shelf and didn't even check it first.
