LCD dead pixle

[Nora]

I've been looking in the direction of an lcd mionitor and seeing in the pro's and cons for some LCD monitors as haveing "dead pixles" and needing to have at least 8 to rma it. What constitutes in a dead pixle? Obviosly it doesn't work, but does this mean a large gaping hole in the view? Or is it something only the anal would notice?

A dead pixel is a pixel that stays black all the time and it cannot be revived. Similar to dead pixels are stuck pixels (if the return policy only states dead pixels then stuck pixels will not count). A stuck pixel stays only one color all the time, and of course, will either be red, green, or blue. IMO, a dead pixel is better as it is less noticeable than a stuck pixel. However, some methods do exist that MAY fix the stuck pixel so it displays the colors properly. I have never had luck though.

A single dead pixel isn't a big deal to most people, but eight will be horrible. I suggest you purchase from a company with a better return policy (not newegg).
