"Dead" pixels on Laptop Screen

sgboy SG

I will like to know whether it is normal to see 1 or 2 "dead'/blue dot, which should be pixels on the laptop screen?

How many is acceptable? What can we do about it? Is it a defect or it is normal on LCD screen? Will it cause more to come?

I don't see any on my 3 year old one, or maybe I dunno how to see. Laughing

will it cause other pixels near it to be affected?

having more than 2 dots missing would b considered a spoilt LCD screen already...according to my friend who is into IT and used to work in pioneer..

not sure about wat u can do bout it, but i guess even if u replace, have to do e whole screen lo..

of cos u still can condt using it...

crazy monkey SG

Got a laptop with 3 "pin-holes" , so go change.

sgboy SG

will the dead pixel affect the rest? will it spread like virus like that?

Samsung allows 5

if its plasma screen..samsung allows 50% dead pixels..

of cos, its not noticeable to the human eye with 50% dead pixels in plasma screens Laughing

sgboy SG
