Well, depending on WHERE the dead pixel is, it may not be serious. If it's in
one of the corners, I wouldn't care much. If it's in the middle of the screen, I
wouldn't touch it (unless the price was excellent).

I would never ever buy a monitor which had a single dead pixel/subpixel.
What if it's in the middle of the screen? Would be annoying as hell. And if
my current Hitachi CML174 develops one I'll sure complain loudly.

Even if it's "legally" OK for manufacturers to sell/not repair monitors with
a few dead pixels, it's not OK for the consumer IMO... we need to complain
more!

I wouldn't touch one neither, but frankly I think there are VERY few people
who really care about this. And most of these displays go to corporate
clients who could care less about a couple dead pixels on the display.
That's why they're tolerated and it keeps the price lower. I would
personally never buy any sort of display without examining it throughly at
the store before forking over the cash (examining the exact unit I'd be
buying no less!) I even exchanged my PDA because it had dust that was
glowing from the backlight under the digitizer (I know, I need therapy .

Dead pixels are NOT ACCEPTABLE! Even though it is very hard to even
find the dead pixel sometimes you still do not want one. LCD manufacturers
seem to think that a certain amount of dead pixels is "Normal". At the
high price they charge for the darn things I feel they should be perfect
in every respect. I inspected every monitor my vendor had in stock and I
picked the flawless one. You would be surprised how many had dead pixels
and other flaws. The vendor had a perfect monitor on display and I was
determined to find the same.

One local dealer that I use, has a system going whereas you pay a
small additional payment and get the monitor checked for dead pixels
before purchase.

Quality control cost money , and most LCD "brands" today allow for a small
number of dead pixles to occur.

But a "dead" pixel is not just that; it can be a black ,white , red , or any
other color more or less intense spot.

And it can be in the middle of the screen (worst case) or at the very corner
(not so bad..)

The best thing is to check the monitor yourself before you pay or ask what
policy the seller has on the issue...

I agree not to accept a single dead pixle ,there is allways someone that can
supply a flawless monitor at a good price.
