Anyone know where I can buy an LCD screen with no dead pixels?
Hello,
I want to buy a UXGA TFT monitor (I've got my eye on the Dell 2001FP, or LG L2010P, which both use the same panel), but I have a rather different idea of how many dead pixels are 'acceptable' than most online vendors seem to. Does anyone here know of any online vendors which will either check the screen they send me for dead pixels before they send it out, and only send it if it doesn't have any, or let me return the screen they send me if it turns out to have dead pixels once I receive it? I might be prepared to accept one or two unlit pixels if they are at the very edge of the screen, but lit or coloured pixels, or anything away from the edge, is just not acceptable to me, regardless of what the manufacturers say. I guess if it turns out to be impossible to do it online I will have to find a physical retailer where I can actually look at the screen myself before buying it, but that would be a last resort for me. Thanks, Alex Vallat -- (To email me, use @ComPorts.com instead of @Dont.Spam.Me) |

You can return anything bar perishable goods and opened software within 7 days under the distance selling regulations. You don't need to give a reason for the return. |

Don't know if they still do it though and they only had a very small range of TFT screens - mostly AOC I think Tony |

Thanks anyway, though! Alex |

You cannot buy a 5MP camera with all good pixels. The (consumer grade) CCDs
simply aren't prodcude without bad pixels. However, logic in the camera ignores the pixles known to be bad so you don't see them. Unfortuneately, with LCD displays, we cannot set logic in out brains to ignore bad pixles. I just ordered a Dell 2001FP. My fingers are crossed. "Dave" wrote in message ...
