    Hi, I recently discovered numerous pixel errors on my Vaio FW Full-HD display, but they are about half the size of a normal pixel (got such faulty pixels, too). It's half a year old. When I looked closer then, with a black image on, I discovered myriads of little green dots all over the screen, that are even smaller. All green! They are barely noticeable, because they're so small. But they're there constantly. Anybody has a guess what's wrong here?

    A pixel is made of three sub-pixels - red, green, and blue. It just sounds like a few green sub-pixels are stuck on.

    Please count your stuck pixels, if you have over 11 sony needs to replace your screen on warranty.
