    OK.... I found dead pixels on my 5920 after 2 months of use. :eek:

    Found Two dead pixels and both are on bottom right side of the screen :mad:
    One is clearly visible as a black dot and other one is difficult to see directly from eye without dead pixel buddy...( It looks Like low light pixel :( )

    Contrary to what people think, I unit with dead pixels can develop more. A TFT monitor I previously bought had one red pixel when I received it. But after a day, developed 4 more around the same area.

    I think Acers policy requires it to be a pixel that is permanently on, to get it replaced. If it's an unlit pixel (blacK) then Acer probably won't do anything about it. Strange that.

    I thought I had a dead pixel at the bottom of my screen, till I realised it was just dust casting a shadow. Try contacting Acer anyway, to see where they stand.

    Could have been all the overclocking and benchmarking causing them to appear? ;).

    End of day, Laptops are not made for extreme gaming and if you push them too hard they will break.

    Stick to desktops if you want gaming....

    I rarely allow mine to go over 70 degrees, and the LCD screen at the bottem left of the screen is starting the get affected by the heat from that corner.

    Use your laptop! Don't abuse it ;)

    I mean do ppl got nothing better to do then run 3dmark 24/7?

    How is the LCD getting affected by the heat? What are the signs showing that you can tell that? Just curious, thats all.

    Sorry to say...I never agree with you..laptops can handle heat better than desktops & LCD dead pixels never generate by heat :eek: .Dead pixels made by manufacturing faults not by heat :cool:

    Well i'm not sure the heat is causing the dead pixels, but its just fact that its making that corner of my screen darker.

    So its wos a pretty bad design to put the CPU in that corner.
