Dead pixles in 2001FP
 

What is a normal amount of dead pixels to have on this monitor? i have like 9 and was wondering if that was normal or if i should contact dell. i got the monitor around 2 weeks ago.

Call them...I think their limit might bet like 12 or something but 9 is definitely on the high side.

What?! I bought 2 19 inch samsungs like a year ago, and between them they have 1 dead pixel. If there were NINE on one of them I would demand a replacement.

I'm trying to find how many dead pixels I have on this cathode ray tube of mine, is there some software to test your CRT for dead pixels?????

Just got 2 new 2001FPs on Thursday and I guess I got lucky as I can't see a single dead pixel on either.

How obvious is a dead pixel? Do i need to look closely or do they stand out? I don't think I have any on my 19" CRT.

Also, I would demand a replacement as well with 9 dead pixels on a new monitor.

Sorry duder, it was a joke. CRTs don't have dead pixels.

I knew you weren't completely serious (as their isn't a program to test for them).... however I figured that in theory dead pixels could exist.

Your saying this only happens on flat panels???

Also if dead pixels really exist, I know you can return your purchase to dell for a full refund if you are not happy with it. If they don't replace it then just return them and buy a new one.

I think they have a 21 day total satisfaction period where the policy is you can send it back for a new one if there is more than 0 dead pixels. Otherwise I believe as long as its within the warranty time it's more than 8. You should definitely call or email support and try and get a new one shipped.
