Dead pixel?

[cp88]

Hello, so I woke up this morning to find this on my screen,



Sorry for crappy picture took it quickly with my iphone but you get the idea.

Dead pixel? Possible fix ?

Its kinda like the ink has leaked or something

PRETTY GUTTED..

Nah, had it over 2 years now so I am guessing warranty is gone.

Hasn't been poked or anything I just woke up and it was like that.

Its actually gotten worse since this morning

Ah I read dell monitors have 3 year warranty, will look into it.

Dell e248wfp

I am looking for the service tag, cant seem to find it tho

That monitor should come with a 3 year warranty from dell.

I would suggest finding the service tag, (or "dell works order number" that is on a sticker on the original box), the serial number (on the back of the monitor) and the company name of the reseller you bought it from (unless you bought it direct from dell).

Then call them up on the dell technical support line (0844 338 1200) and ask to be transferred to the monitor section. Once there explain clearly to them your problem and be ready with the info I mentioned above.

Thanks, don't have the box anymore, so hopefully just the serial number will do - It does say 2008 on the back of the monitor tho so might be pushing it

Got it from OCUK (went to the store)

Found the box, they are sending out a replacement tomorrow

In warranty by less than 15 days

Picture difference is pretty massive lol

How do I go about screen calibrating? I have no idea where to start, is there a decent program for it?


Thanks.
