    Do stuck pixels happen over time or are there usually from day 1?

    I've owned many lcd displays in my life. I'm finding that if the display doesn't have a stuck pixel from day 1, it doesn't usually happen over time (at least for me.) Is this the general consensus? I have a Gateway 2185 and am worried that i will end up having this issue.

    Need Advice: Samsung 226BW vs. Gateway FPD2185W

    I like it but i notice on the left side of the screen it's much brighter, even moving the head so it's dead centered doesn't help. Not sure what to do with it because i did get a good deal at $200.00. Clearance at an office store.

    Going crazy with gateway 2185w

    Yeah, i'm aware of the moving to right/left thing, however, i can make a 360 degree turn and it wont cut down on the brightness on the left side. I'm wondering if this is normal for this particular monitor.--i.e. uneven brightness Charles
