dead pixel guarantee?

Krisali · 2 Jul 2008 at 18:27

Hi, Im thinking of buying 2 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-050-SA for my setup. Do OCUK give any kind of dead pixel guarantee at all? Would hate to buy 2 and find one of them has dead pixels...

Cheers

What panels are the 226s these days?

Changed my mind gonna pay the extra and get 2 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-054-SA. If they have dead pixels I will be mightily vexed

Ok I see, but I will have opened the monitor and used it in order to ascertain if there are any dead pixels, would this still be OK?

Thanks

You're amazingly informational post has highlighted a potential flaw with my idea... :confused:

I guess the Samsung is a TN Panel....

Which monitors would be suitable for dual setups? I was looking at the 2007fp Dell (20" non widescreen) but its out of stock....

any suggestions?

I wouldn't worry too much about the viewing angle - just angle the outer screens and you get a nice surround effect for games!

It is 7 working days on the DSR so it varies depending on which day you receive the screen.

Every TFT I've bought has had a lazy pixel - it's annoying, but you get used to it - if you aren't happy with that then you really should get your screen elsewhere - plenty of other e-tailers offer Pixel checks.
