One pixel...[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#35)
by Reziac on Tue Jan 04, 2005 at 12:38:16 PM PDT

What constitutes a defective LED screen depends on the manufacturer, and some state right in their warranties that only dead pixels "in the main field of view" (edge pixels are often not covered, even if the dead number in the hundreds), or more dead pixels than a certain minimum count, are covered.

That means if you ordered a unit, and it arrives with dead pixels, you're SOL (and one has to wonder if some manufacturers "dump" known defective units that way). So the only "safe" way to buy such things is if you can do hands-on inspection PRIOR TO PURCHASE.
