Dead pixles in 2001FP

[GoblinMason (Craig)]

9 is really high. I have 1 2001 and haven't noticed any. I did have an old 17" lcd with 3 dead pixels that Best Buy let me exchange under warranty.

I totally read the subject line as Dead Pixies and was curious enough to click.

read the fine print...most if not all companies have some kind of dead pixel limit I've see it range from 6-16. The only company I've seen that has a no pixel policy is either philips or samsung and it only started this year.

Well, I guess you could get dead pixels if the phosphor on the back of the screen got damaged in some way, but that's not going to happen. The pixels you see on a CRT are just the phosphor dots. CRT design has changed significantly, howstuffworks or something should be able to tell you more than I remember.

busterstacks had i think 2 on his 2001fp and they replaced it. now, whether this is worth dealing with dell CS or not is up to you. but you should demand a replacement for a defective product if you ask me.

i had 2 dead pixels on one of mine, they'll tell you it has to be like 9 or something. just get all huffy and say this is unacceptable blah blah, then they'll say please hold. then they'll send you a fresh one.

edit: also try gently "rubbing" them out first. sometimes pixels get "stuck" and you can fix it by gently massaging them

i just called them and they said it was normal to have 7-13 dead pixels on a monitor of my size and they couldnt do anything about it.

That's the wrong answer...I got mine replaced with 2 dead pixels. Just don't take no for an answer. And since they made it difficult on you, don't return the one with the dead pixels [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Tell them if they won't replace it, then you'll just return it. That's what I did when i found 2 dead pixels on mine. BTW, I do recommend rubbing one out.


hehehehe
