Hot or dead pixels? Anyone had the same issue?

Yep, though my crazy pixellation issues happended about 5 minutes after first turning the TV on (for the 1st time) and now are there from the 1st second I turn it on, every time. Amazon is sending me a repacement unit, no questions asked. I did a lot of research before buying this set and I'm hoping the new set I receive proves that it wasn't all in vain.

Check your brightness setting. I read that one user was getting flickering when he had the brightness setting set to 75% and CPU usage was high. He didn't see it any other time. Search the net for more info. May or may not be a platform issue.

Mine seems to be stuck on IR. All I see is a dull gray blob even in full light.

I have 3 plasmas (will have 4 soon). My oldest is 5 years old (480p). If I go to a blue screen I can see a slight burn from [MUTE] flashing in the same spot. With normal content on the screen it is not noticeable at all. The newer panels are so much more advanced and burn-in or IR is a thing of the past. Turn on the "pixel shift" and don't worry. Just don't fall asleep with a still image on any technology.

Not sure if a fix exists, but if your screen is still under warranty, I'd RMA right away. Why mess around with hacks when you are entitled to a fully functional device?

I've had mine for almost a year now. Unlike the previous posters, I haven't had any issues with focus. However, I have recently discovered 3 dead pixels in the CCD each separated pretty far from each other. I shrink most of my pictures for web use so it's not really an issue with me but it's not good when there's more than a couple of dead pixels in your CCD. Otherwise it's been pretty good; I do like it a lot.

VIZIO does not have a zero dead pixel policy on all TV's. I have a single dead pixel on my Vizio 55 inch TV model: VF552XVT I spoke with a rep today via their online chat and this was their response. Rep: Ok so there is just one dead pixel? Me: Yes, in a very visible area of the TV Rep: So it dark? Me: yes, it stays black all the time Me: The purchase price was; $1583.58 with tax Rep: Ok here is the thing, our pixel policy for dead pixels is you have to have 5 dead pixels on the screen before we consider it a defect of any kind so we cannot replace it. Me: Sorry to have bothered you, I tried to find out that information from your warranty information page, and it was not listed. Can you show me where I can find that documentation? Rep: It is not, that is for internal use only. Me: Ok, thank you for your time.

Yes, skinney said. However, they did not cover single or sparse dead pixels. They only cover dead/stuck pixels if in the center of the screen or more than "Several" clumped together. I think this industry standard, shrug.

I noticed a few owner reviews at Amazon claiming dead pixels as well. If you just ordered it, I'd contact the vendor and try to swap the set out for a new one.Otherwise, Samsung "should" replace the set without too much hassle. It may just take longer.Good luck.

That sounds like it may be Graphics related. Try updating your video drivers.

I have upgraded monitors twice now and haven't had a problem. Try testing the monitor on another computer and try using a different monitor cable as well

You may want to consider returning it to the provider.I got mine in a brand new packaging, legal stamps(or what have you), works perfectly fine with 4 DPI settings.especially if you got yours in a plastic box.do consider what I said.

It's the NVIDIA Ion driver. Even the latest build as of this post (260.99) doesn't resolve the washed out colors and the occasional green line at the top of the video window. Some have reported that you can right-click the flash video window > settings > toggle the 'enable h/w acceleration'. I just received my 1215n today and installed the latest Intel 3150, Ion, and Flash player hoping it would resolve the issue. Needless to say I am very disappointed.

My monitor does not give off heat. I do know that my older computer would not work well with this monitor and my have power issues. I had bought a new computer that supported the extra pixels this monitor has. Excellent!

I have mine for about a little under a year and have had no issues with it...until today - I noticed that I do in fact have a dead pixel. I will be sending this product back and this will be my 3rd monitor from them.

I also had a display go completely unresponsive. You can do a seach online on how to reseat the ribbon cables to the unit , as that might help, or if you have two systems, you can swap displays to get the heat going for the affected zone.Ultimately I ended up ordering a new unit to solve my problem.

Sorry to say when I pixel is bad, it is bad forever. I am OCD so when I receive a monitor with a bad pixel I will send it back for exchange or else I will keep looking at the area of the bad pixel which makes me crazy!!!
