    Finally got my 1810T today and was disappointed to find that it had no less than six dead and stuck pixels littered around the screen.

    I have wiped the screen with a microfiber cloth and have used a compressed air duster to make sure.

    Just upset that I spent $$$ for this thing and it comes to me with so many dead and stuck pixels.


    What are everyone's experience(s) regarding dead and stuck pixels on these units?

    You must check the store policy.
    Some stores allow you to exchange within a week.
    However I always recommend "CHECK BEFORE LEAVING THE STORE!"

    Bought it online.


    Thanks. Do you think Acer USA has the same policy?

    I'll try returning it at the store for exchange first.

    Wow,
    That is the worse dead-pixel policy I have seen in years.Dell and Lenovo is just a fraction of that. Every machine I get somehow has 1 stuck blue pixel.
