    Had my XPS 1530 for about 4 days when I noticed a grouping of 2 dead pixels. I called dell and because it was still under 21 days they're sending out a replacement. I was just curious if anyone else had dead/stuck pixels on a recently received 1530.

    The Dell tech said that its not very common, and this was only his 3rd dead pixel call in regards to a new system in 1 1/2 years....those stats seem alittle low...

    Other then that the screen was beautiful, it was an LG....so hopefully the new system will have one as well.

    I developed a couple on my Vostro 1700 recently.
    They replaced it ;)

    I don't find it very common. Of the 10 or so Dells I've had, I've only had 1 dead pixel and it actually went away.

    1 on my 1530, along with too much backlight bleed. Replacement due tomorrow hopefully.
