all e1705 owners, any dead pixel issues?

I should be getting mine this week and the last thing I wanna see are like 5 dead pixels

 

thats a good question. I know notebooks usually are looked over more to weed out dead pixels compared to desktop moniters, but whats dells dead/stuck pixel policy?

 

dont knw the ratio but mines got 0!

 

have had mine for 1 1/2 months and no dead pixels

 

If you will have 7 or more dead pixels then dell will exchange your laptop, Im ordering my E1705 soon and I hope I dont see any.

 

7 months, 0 dead pixels!

 

0 here on the beautfiul LG lcd.

 

nope none at all! very happy with the display

 

How can you tell whether your LCD has any dead pixels or not? with your eyes? or any programs out there that can detect it?

 

It is usually a pixel on the screen which is 'stuck', or doesn't change its color. You'll know what it looks like if you see one. You can use programs like Dead Pixel Buddy (google it) to find them.

 

No dead pixels here and I have orderd about 7 of them for clients

 

LG 1920 x 1200 - no dead pixels - two months old.

I do have two dark spots, bottom left and right extreme corners. Not a problem for me. I keep the back light 2 notches down from max or it will burn the hair off your arms

 

How do you tell what time of screen it is (like LG)?

 

As far as I know I dont have any (I can't see them at least, and thats good enough for me). This lcd is amazing, I love it (except the glare once in a while).

 

ahhh, ****, i found one towards the bottom right, a pink lil fella.

was hopin it was dust, my machine's just under two weeks old. not bothersome, didn't notice it till i thought of looking because of this thread and got DPB to be sure. but yes, one of my 2280000 has just died. rest in peace, buddy

 

Would you accept delivery of a brand new car if there was a scratch on the door? I wouldn't. I don't know what Dell's dead pixel policy is, but my policy is zero dead pixels, or you're replacing the screen. The nice thing about dealing with a monster corporation like Dell is that if you are polite and persistent enough, you can get them to do just about anything for you. After I was through with them they would be replacing my screen and sending someone over to mow my lawn.

 

None on my screen!

 

No dead pixels - 6 months on my notebook.

 

nope, I got the LG screen and it is BEAUTIFUL, 0 dead pixels

 

They'd cut your lawn huh?

They have a 7 dead pixel policy, which is clear when your buy your laptop. Consumers such as yourself that are demanding, however polite and persistant and expect special treatment, drive prices up.

 

I researched the dead picels on 1705's and what I saw was that they usually abide by the 7 deal pixel policy, but they make some exceptions. For instance, when there is a cluster of 4 or 5 near each other towards the center of the screen they will replace it. That's the only exception I read about.
