| 293864 | 2004-11-19 07:13:00 | How common are these in LCD (desktop) screens? I got one on my brand new screen, and it's really (insert vulgar adjective here) me off. Any tactics to fix? I heard massging the area sometimes works but not for me. |

| 293865 | 2004-11-19 07:39:00 | >I heard massging the area sometimes works but not for me that won't work for anyone Different manufacturers have different policies regarding dead pixel replacement Some are 4 some are 10 & i is even 17 before they will replace I very much doubt you will get a replacement monitor for one dead pixel |

| 293866 | 2004-11-19 07:39:00 | There is no fix,I would suggest if it is brand new you return it immediatly and tell them you never agreed to purchase faulty goods.. | metla (154) | ||

| 293868 | 2004-11-19 07:59:00 | Some manufacturers also have a no dead or stuck pixel guarantee, usually depending on the model. Philips have this guarantee on their business and pro models but not on the consumer model. If it's not covered by the manufacturer policy, but it is in such a position that it is annoying and detracts from your usage of the product, you may have an out in the fit for purpose clause in the Consumer Guaranties ACT. You'd have to check it out. Murray P |

| 293869 | 2004-11-19 08:03:00 | The landscape has changed in the last few months regarding pixel warrenties,LCD's are available in every price range with a 3 year stuck pixel warrentie.Plus prices have dropped so its a good time to buy. The CMV range (god bless em) have a zero pixel warrenty for an extra $20.... Anyhow,if the screen is brand new then you have right of return no matter what the warrenty.....Its faulty goods..... |

| 293870 | 2004-11-19 09:14:00 | >My AOC monitor came with a 3 year zero pixel policy< That should be dead pixel policy which means I don't have to wait until every pixel on the screeen is dead before i get a replacement :-) |

| 293871 | 2004-11-19 09:18:00 | I would double check that if i was you,just looking over some specs i see an AOC unit listed as 3 yrs Bright Pixels Free,that only covers stuck pixels...not dead pixels. Not to say that the model and warranty on my pricelist has any correlation with what you purchased.... |

| 293872 | 2004-11-19 09:52:00 | CMV? Why was I not told about that warranty? Other than the dead pixel, I really love their 17" model CT-722A, sharp, bright and good colours. I actually work at the place I bought it from so I don't think I'll have a problem, I'll take the 3 day old display model that has no dead pixels. |

| 293873 | 2004-11-19 09:55:00 | Just to clarify, I have a STUCK pixel, not a dead one. But it does chage colour, say, using PF1, the background is white, so the pixel shows up red, where as if the screen is black (screensaver) the pixel is blue. |
