Can anyone clear something up for me. I left fairly positive feedback yesterday for a replacement laptop screen I've installed, despite a bad pixel :

"Pity about the dead pixel but still, very good seller & fast delivery!. A++"

Reply from the seller:
"The auction clearly states it has a dead pixel, and its sold as grade A-"

I bought this on Buy it Now, Item Condition: New. It wasn't 'New other'. More than 10 available, 16 sold. The description at the very top is 'NEW AUO AU OPTRONICS B156XW02 V3 15.6" LED LEFT DISPLAY SCREEN MATTE AG GRADE A-'

There is nothing on the page that, imo, says what I'm buying specifically has a dead pixel. There is only what appears to me to be a general guideline to pixel policy.

What it says is:

'Item Specifics:

Size: 15.6” (diagonal viewable area)

Resolution: 1366 x 768 HD

Finish: Matte Anti-Glare

Connector type: 40 Pin, Bottom Left

Back light type: LED

Warranty: 2 Years

Pixel Policy: ISO: Class 1, IIS 1:1:1, E/Mail me for Manufacturer's IIS guidelines. 1 dead Pixel is not a fault.'

Saying '1 dead pixel is not a fault' may be true, but was I meant to know that the monitor actually HAS a dead pixel from that description and if not, do I have any comeback? I wouldn't have bought it had I known it had a dead pixel. It's not major, it's in the top left corner, http://s23.postimg.org/i6kqtfrcr/image.jpg but still, a little annoying.

The description is vague imo, and I think it should have been 'New other'.

'New other (see details)
The item may be a factory second, or a new and unused item with minor defects.'
