said by Somnambul33t:said by Tempus45:Wiki - Defective pixels are pixels on a liquid crystal display (LCD) not performing as expected. The ISO standard ISO 13406-2 distinguishes between three different types of defective pixels, while hardware companies tend to have further distinguishing types.
The 8 or more dead pixel policy it just wrong, The fact of the matter - it is defective. Its certainly not a feature. We need a court ruling on this so the policy could serve as a precedent to all manufacturers protocols. Ive seen a dead pixel and let me tell you when I look at a screen, its the first thing I notice and its highly annoying.
we dont need a court ruling... there are (or were) some MFGs with zero dead pixel policies. i think samsung was one of them and asus may as well. info on this topic is scarce. as LCDs became much more standard, cheaper, and better quality, dead pixels became much much more rare.
Yep - Supposedly Dell has a zero dead pixel policy. Buy from companies with the return policy you prefer and if enough do that - other manufacturers will follow suit to keep business.
