I thought I read where one of the LCD manufacturers was going to offer a "0" dead pixel policy on all LCDs they produce. Anyone remember who this was and is it on now? Maybe LG?

Samsung on some of their models, and Viewsonic offers no white/black stuck pixels.
 
Samsung has zero dead pixel policy, which is the way it should be. A dead pixel is a defect, it is just the cost of replacing it is not cheap, so scumbag toshiba created this rule saying you must have 7 dead pixel to replace it, and our consumer law is weak, that's all.
 
If Samsung has that, then why does Newegg state 8 dead on their policy? If you have less than 8, do you then have to deal directly with Samsung?
 
theres really no complete garontee, its a manufactored improfection, i think the ratio is somewhere of like for every 15 monitors 1 of those will have a dead pixel(s) its something in that area. not sure of the exact number, i read it like 6 mounths ago on some website, cant remember where i got the satistic. so when it comes down it, its really a matter of chance and luck.

i highly doubt that a company would make that kind of deal, because of the high chance of a monitor with dead pixels on it.
 
Dell has a zero dead pixel policy if you order it through them.

Samsung's "zero dead pixel" policy is available only in South Korea.

Newegg's policy is that they will only accept monitor returns due to dead pixels if there are at least 8.

Solution: don't buy your monitors from Newegg.

.. and order Samsung from Korea... :D

Seriously though, who said that Dell has 0-dead pixel policy? It's 6pixel minimum BUT Dell also offers total satisfaction, so u can return ur monitor within 21 days after purchase and after 21 days pass, 6 pixel min policy kicks in. ;)
 
There are online stores that charge an "Express LCD Buyer Protection" policy premium or something where you spend an extra $20 and they guarantee no dead pixels or they replace it. It's just like making money off extended warranties. I've never had any dead pixels on the 3 panels I've owned.

samsung's S korea policy is w/i the 1st 6 mth. of purchase starting jan 1, 2005. but the st. rumor is, this policy is also being enforce in north america on March 1 or Apr 1.

Samsung made their own screen, as manufacturer, they can afford this.

what are the chances I'll get a perfect one? I have one stuck red pixel. It's not too annoying. I could live with it, but it's just the point. Should be perfect.

But I really have no desire to keep returning LCD's if they're all gonna have dead pixels.

Is that likely or is it more likely that I'd get a good one?

I have seen more LCDs with no dead pixels than with dead pixels, by a factor of at least 10 to 1.
 
I have 3 Dell LCDs and no dead or stuck pixels on any of them.
 
I just got a 2005fpw and it had no dead pixels. :D I know it's not too helpful, but with all of the 4 dell lcds I've purchased within the past year or so, none had dead pixels.
