My time is little and I can feel it stealing my life.. that's right.. I've been infected with dead pixelitus.. a deadly disease with no known cure X(

Anyway back to reality, I had some real problems in the past with dead/stuck pixels on various devices. I guess I'm one of those folks with pixel sharp eyesight since I find these things not even 5 minutes after getting/seeing the device. My first dead (black) pixel was on my old Samsung D600 smack in the middle of the screen. Then I had to 2 stuck (green and blue) on my 22" Acer LCD which I immediately sold. I then got a Philips LCD with 1 dead pixel but decided to just keep the damn thing (even though it still annoys the hell out of me)

Last year my friend and I decided to get ourselves each a Sony PSP. What a horrible idea since we went though 5 units each (10 in total!!!!) and still could not find a pixel perfect PSP. We ended using the money for other stuff (and made some real enemies with the sales folk and CNA and Game in the meantime).

So now I have a brand new Nintendo DS Lite....with yes ...1 dead pixel on the left part of the touch screen. It's really small/feint and they'll most probably not even see it if I take it back so I guess I'll just have to live with it... but it really bugs me that my eyes keep going back to the damn pixel since I know it's there and it's always running through my mind which kinda messes up the experience with the unit.

For gods sakes I hate these damn pixel related problems! I really which there was some way that I could just ignore them. Everywhere I go, I check on people's LCD for pixel problems (I do this without even knowing) and it really bugs me.

I want a cure! :(
 
Oh no! not a bad pixel!!! nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

dude, just get used to 'em, they are everywhere......every-where!

Do what I do - get a 42" FullHD LCD - I promise you won't be able to find my 1 dead pixel (It takes me 2 mins to find it and i know what area it's in!)
 
Dead pixel would annoy me on probably anything, so don't feel so bad. I would go mental.
 
I've got a stuck pixel near the middle of my 24" imac.
Stuck on white, so only really notice it when the screen is black and I'm sitting close to it.

Used to annoy me a lot when I first noticed it.
