Yes you heard correct....

I don't want to know how to fix them (you can't really only stuck pixels maybe)...

but I want to know how to create them if possible. The reason is obvious :rolleyes:
 
fire them with a laser. that is how the factories turn stuck green/red/blue ones into less noticeable black stuck ones.

it is much easier to turn a working screen into a dead screen than to turn a working screen into a working screen with lots of dead pixels, depending on if you can open it up or not.(warrantee etc)

You want to take the screen back and claim stuck pixels?? Careful, they sometimes check these before they sell them. And aren't they going to give you another one the same.
 
They will send it to the suppliers if it was purchased more than 7 days ago. Why fukc up a working monitor anyways?
 
I purchased two Siemens 19"" LCD screens a while ago, one had faulty pixels, black dots. At first Siemens support they did not want to exchange it as they claimed that they allow a certain percentage of dead pixels. I was annoyed and stated that it was not stated so on the advert before purchase and neither on the displayed demo unit and also if all the allowed pixels is on the same proximity ( Black spot not pixel) then they should exchange it. I then stated I will return all my purchases for the day amounting to excess of 10K based on the 7 day satisfactory clause. Then after viewing the screen Makro manager then spoke to the Siemens support and insisted to accept the return.
 
so was your siemens replacement 100%? Anybody else using fujitsu siemens lcd's, hows the quality etc?
 
You can get software that will check for stuck pixels. I'm sure the Makro guys will fire one up for you. I'm guessing you would have to agree to buy it though.
Aren't there some places that guarantee "NO stuk pixels"?
 
The LCD manufactring process appaerntly has quite high waste percentage. Once a pixel has died and gone to heaven there is nothing you can do except pray for its everlasting soul....deads pixel are irriating and cannot be fixed...all you can do is hope that you dont get anymore....
 
what lcd brand has a zero dead pixel warranty? Still waiting for someone to let me know how they find ther fujitsu siemens lcd's
 
ASUS
"Asus has introduced the PW191, the company's first 19-inch LCD display, which features a 1440 x 900 native resolution, an 8ms response time, and a 600:1 contrast ratio. It also has the same "zero bright-dot" gurantee as some of Asus's other products, which means it can be returned for a refund if there's even a single "bright" (read: dead) pixel on the display."

This link shows a comparitive list of manufacturers policies regarding dead pixels.

I thought Apple had a zero defect policy ----?

There already is a 'Pixel Perfect' classification - the ISO 13406-2 standard. Zero-defect TFT displays are called Class I displays. More information here:

Despite what engadget says . . .
What are bright dots?
A dead pixel refers to a pixel with a defect in its ability to display the correct color output. It may look like a tiny black or white spot on the screen. When the pixel remains permanently lit, it is known as a bright dot.

It would seem that ASUS guarantees against permanently lit pixels and not dead pixels.

A stuck pixel (aka "bright dot") is annoying - a single dead pixel might never even be noticed.
 
nice to know, I see that the fujitsu range has 3 year warranty. The reason why i'm hammering on F- Siemens is because makro has an 19" widescreen,8ms,wide view,1440x900 for R1849,so I wanna know if its good
 
Can anyone tell me whether BenQ TFT monitors are any good? I'm buying a new PC and am considering the 19" BenQ FP91G+ (250 cd/m², 500:1 contrast, 0.3mm dot pitch,12 ms response,1280 x 1024@75 Hz) for R2 102. Does anyone have any better suggestions in the same price category?
 
yeah BenQ LCD's are good (i dont have one myself, but have read good reviews) and are well priced. In that price range there is the 8ms acer which isnt the greatest and looks disgusting IMO. If you can try save a little bit more and go for the 2ms Samsung 940BF which is excellent.
 
I have 3 F-Siemens 19" 2 normal and 1 Wide screen for a few month so far
no problems. All purchased at Makro
 
I read somewhere that the response times they quote are often fictional. The Siemens quote very fast figures.
