    You can, but why? All you're doing is setting yourself up for the placebo effect. Otherwise known on these forums as the Dell Stupid User Syndrome (DSUS for short).

    If the screen looks good, I wouldn't want to find out what kind it is!

    it looks fine... but it's not as bright as I expeced and the viewing angles are just okay. I paid extra for the 1680x1050 pannel and i want to be sure I'm getting my moneys worth.

    So how exactly does knowing the manufacturer affect that decision? DSUS.

    BTW, if you couldn't tell, we're all tired of this question.

    Don't investigate a problem that otherwise doesn't exist.

    It's really bad that these people can't just ignore the thread but insist on replying without anything productive to say. Anyways, the red pixel maybe a dead pixel if it's just there and doesn't go away.

    Dead pixels are black and can't be fixed. Red/Green/Blue pixels are stuck and there is a chance they might go back to normal.
