    I was lucky to have beautiful LG screen in My XPS M1530 but recently i started to notice few black dots in the screen , i thought it might be dead pixel but they look completely different from all the pics i have seen in the internet .
    It looks more like a dust particle then a Dead Pixel . and its very annoying :mad:

    But I want to make sure before i call dell.

    here are few pictures ( one in the middle and many in the side of the screen )

    well, for me, it doesn't look like dead pixels.. for testing / checking for dead pixel, just get on google for lots of ways to do it and then u will know...

    if its dust particles, apply very very gentle pressure on your screen, with some soft tissue covering your finger tips, and see if u can move it around... you'll know if its dust or something there...

    for me, it looks more like some kinda condensation inside...

    Sorry no idea...

    But if its condensation, I would imagine it would go away in time, just as it got in...

    Btw, did u try cleaning the screen with some liquid or something? Wait for a few days and see if it goes away...

    Also I *read* a guy actually used a hair dryer very gently and from good distance away (so as not to harm the screen with the temp) and it worked for him.. but please be careful if trying this. Don't blame me!! LOL...

    Yes, thats why I asked the OP if he tried cleaning the screen with too much liquid or whatever, which resulted in the possible 'condensation'. And there are already lots of reports of users doing something similar and ending up with little bit of liquid or condensation inside...
