45-day Dead Pixel Warranty - MALIBAL

I recently sent in my computer for screen repair after getting two stuck pixels. It's being sent back to me now after being repaired. I didn't have the warranty, so I had to pay for the repair.

Seeing as it's happened once, should I get the warranty for the new screen?

It's $75 - and if I can save the money, I'd like to - I also don't want to spend extra if it goes bad again though.

 

if its stuck pixel... you can fix that by yourself... stuck pixel fixing is on youtube as video. its pretty easy.

 

Unfortunately, that doesn't always work- they can at times be permanently stuck. The upside is that stuck pixels have at least a chance to be fixed, while dead pixels are just that- dead.

The problem is that dead or stuck pixels aren't always introduced in manufacturing- they can often come up unexpectedly during normal usage. A warranty protects against this, but it's very much personal opinion as to whether you think they're necessary or not.

 

I tried those many times, as well as the massaging and other fixes, none of them worked.

Trust me, I'd try everything before sending it in and spending 100+ just to get the screen fixed.

 

guess it was the permanent stuck pixel... sry to hear.

 

Do you think I should play it on the safe/expensive side and order the 45 day warranty?

 

i mean its only 45 days... i dont think its worth it...its only a little dot.. imo
well i dont know for you bu t that little dot doesn't bother me.

 

I think the odds are in your favor... I mean I've owned over a dozen LCD devices and never seen a dead or stuck pixel

 

Yeah - I've owned 3 computers (two HPs and one Toshiba), and more than 6 handheld devices . Only 2 of those ~9 have ever gotten stuck or dead pixels before this.

You think I should take the chances?

 

not worth it

 

Chance is not worth it? Or the warranty itself is not worth it?

 

lol, warranty. I am not too nit picky about stuff , thats just me

 

Well, I guess I am - especially if the stuck pixel is green, it's impossible not to see it when watching movies or playing games, and it really gets to me.

 

Wish that warranty was for a year. Would definitely get it then... But 45 days?

 

It sounds like you've already made up your mind about it. Buy it so it'll give you some peace of mind.

For me, I notice more dust on my screen than dead pixels lol.

 

Im going to go without it. I've had 10+ devices with LCD screens, and only 2 have ever gotten dead/stuck pixels outside of my P151HM1.

I have a feeling I'll be fine. + MALIBAL said that they personally checked and calibrated this new screen, so it should be fine.

 

I purchased my laptop from Malibal.
After a week a stuck pixel showed up.
Malibal replaced the screen.
Malibal paid shipping (both ways).

Worth it?

You decide.

 

I'm selling some games for some cash, but I don't want to use it on some temporary safety from dead pixels...

I mean, if one shows up a day after the warranty, I'm stuck with it, and the 75$ would be for nothing. I still have 15 days left in the return policy as well..

 

Literally JUST got it back, and there's a stuck pixel in the very center of the screen. I haven't even used the calibration disk yet.


Come on Malibal...
