What are “Dead Pixels?”
By: Govy
Dead Pixels are simply pixels on the LCD monitors that do not function and cannot be repaired. Dead Pixels can easily be identified in programs with white background, you can spot them in the same place every time you switch on your computer.
In the early days, the issue of dead pixels on LCD monitors confronts the manufacturers. However, the manufacturing practices have greatly improved over the years and dead pixel issue is very much controlled based on the experience gained. Many manufacturers are confused as to the Warranty Policies they need to enact for the replacement of monitors with dead pixels. The top manufacturers have no problem replacing the monitor as long as it is within the warranty period.
So when you shop for an LCD monitor, check the dead pixel policy indicated in the warranty and check for dead pixels once you install it in your system. If you spot a dead pixel in your LCD, get a replacement if its within the warranty period.
