HOW MANY OWNERS HAD BAD PIXELS?

Have used for an year now. No dead pixel. Working perfect. Bought another one for my partner at work.

None that I can find. Perhaps a LITTLE light bleed at the bottom, but otherwise, just as perfect as any monitor I've ever paid full price for. However, my first power supply block was bad. They sent me a new one ASAP. All good.

Every time I'd turn the screen on it would be perfect, then after about 5 seconds the entire screen would become a dead pixel. The PCB going bad is apparently a common issue with these monitors. I told the seller about the issue and they paid to have it shipped back to them, no hassle. Got another one and it's perfect, no dead pixels.

Mine came through fine. I've had it for about 6 months, and no issues. I wouldn't recommend using the speakers though.

I believe 857u has the edition off yellow pixel or fourth pixel color, CAN'T QUITE REMEMBER , struggleled with the same thing when I bought mine.

it's old, I don't even have the tv anymore, the pixels died in a huge vertical line, my best guess is around 2007. I would not recommend this tv anymore.

i just noticed they dropped the price to 157, that's a little better. i think it is possibly worth that, i was just irritated that it had dead pixels on arrival. i bought it specifically for emulation as well, and it did that just fine. however, keep in mind the screen is pretty bad. it is not that clear, and the viewing angle from one of the sides was terrible and not equal to the other three, which was odd. i honestly still want one, but am just waiting to see the handheld android market develop more.

I do not know for others but for me I have had no issues, my pictures are very good. I trust this helps but you can also peruse other responses.

Thanks for the extra information, interesting about the rectangular pixels. This seems like a much bigger project than I thought it was going to be. I tried a lot of resolutions and found one that appears to leave only one column of pixels on the right side unused. It's 430x222. Funny how a single digit can make a significant difference.

Well so far, I have had terrible luck recording indoors. I have seen test on youtube and elsewhere, that display otherwise though. Many of the other reviewers seem to be getting better image quality than me.

brightness over time will dim. My big problen were the pixels that started to drop. You have spots that stay. Samsung did nothing. I went with sharp Visio when I could not stand the spots. Will not recommend Samsung.

Mine is the violet purple one, they're all the same and yes this LCD fits them all, color means nothing. The price is great but mine came with one pixel dead. I can't say one way or the other if that's the reason the price was so low in fact I know for certain you can buy a brand new, factory LCDs, and they all come with disclaimers that a certain number of pixels can be dead. This particular notebook is my own I didn't buy it for a customer installation. If its for yourself I wouldn't sweat it too much unless you're a big gamer. I CAN tell you that the dead pixel doesn't transfer to your TV or monitor while using the WiDi future. My machine has been on since the day it arrived about 3 years ago it runs 24 /7 and is my Media Center. I very rarely notice the pixel, in fact I only ever see it a bright green dot at the lower center of the screen, on rebooting its on now and I'm looking at the black Roku screen &I can't see it.

yeah sounds like a dead pixel. problem is if it's just 1 you're SOL. I had this issue with my sony lcd and Customer Support said that they'll warranty it for 15 or more dead pixels. Luckily my friend run a PC Richard so I exchanged it. If you look close and its the shape of a rectangle on a grid then it's a dead pixel.

They're in stock. Ordered the 55" and has scratches all over the glass display. Received a replacment and had the same problem with additional scuff marks, scratch on the bottom button area and a bright red stuck pixel.

To be honest I do not know. I've only used jpegs, but I know there are many options for pixel quality & much more.

Like all LCD monitors, you MUST use it in the native mode (in this case, 1900 x 1200) if you want each and every pixel to be sharp. Most of the newer cards support this resolution (you should select EXACTLY the monitor's native resolution; no higher and no lower). Added 5/2/08: After living with the monitor for 10 days (using the supplied HDMI cable with a HDMI-DVI adapter), I have to admit, I agree with R. McGinn. Text and all pixels were absolutely sharp in programs such as Photoshop, but after hours of trying, I was still unable to obtain sharp text on MS Explorer. Tried everything (new drivers, text size changes, resolution changes). Finally gave up yesterday and returned the monitor. Also had significant problems with color accuracy and the "ambient light sensor" causing color shifts. OK if you're not picky about color accuracy and text sharpness!

more importantly, how will the image quality be and will it be worth owning? reviews of the P80 were not kind. I'm hoping they have fixed this issue.

This is a really bad camera. Very nice and beauty, but almost useless. It has just a few mega pixels and from 15 pictures you take, only 4 or 3 of them are usuful. I think this is a bad choice.Regards.Alberto T.
