TFTs & Dead pixels / Mail order / Sheffield computer shops.

Are there any mail order companies happy to guarantee a screen with no dead
pixels, or does anyone know of a decent computer shop in Sheffield that's
not hugely overpriced (ie, PC Worlds' joke £170 for a 15" panel and a kick
in the nuts if it breaks)?

Some will charge about £15 for this. Some do actually check, others
don't bother but will accept the monitor back after *you* have checked
it.

FWIW, ViewSonic have a Zero defective pixel policy, only allowing some
dead sub-pixels.

I recently got two VX 912 19" monitors for £260 from Watford, whom I'd
NEVER use again as they totally ignore CS emails.

£25 more than elsewhere and I have to deal with DSG who are in my experience
useless every time I've bought something from them.

I got an 19" Acer 1912 from Tesco for £180, although they don't have any
specific Dead Pixel Policy, if you are unhappy with any item you can
return for a refund, never had any dead pixels though and picture is good.
