    I have a FW-390J and yesterday I have noticed a dead pixel appeared at the lower left corner, that is new and was not there before..

    This morning I found another dead pixel very near to the first one and if I focus enough I can see a couple of more fainted dots..

    I feel a bit frustrated and disappointed. I had the same problem with a my previous Toshiba A300 which I replaced with this model

    Please advise

    Far out man I feel your pain. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do unless if you wanna try your luck with the service centre - some have managed to get Sony to replace the screen.

    Would they do anything on the 1 year warranty
    It seems that there is a certain amount of dead pixels that they do consider as
    standard (if u can put this way) b4 they do anything about it >
