Ever seen this before?

I saw one the other day. Came in from the side and walked straight off again. I honestly didn't believe that I had seen it until I saw this post.

Is this bug from Tawain where my screen was assembled?

If so, is is hazardous?

Should my TFT be speeded into quarantine?

I'm really scared now.

Yes, all of us have been infected by the deadly Taiwanese TFT bug :/

Maybe you could try to get it to go into the recycle bin and delete it

Ok as i said it's died on the left of the screen where i can bloody notice it and it won't move if i bang screen or tip it

Anything else i could try?

rma. most manufatures are quite forgiving about bugs dying in tft's. if they wont, take it apart. but dont blame me if you ham-fist it and break the monitor lol

Macca · 23 Jul 2006 at 18:02

Should i sent to Samsung, or where i bought? *cough* OcUK.

You sure about rma'ing?

Yeah i will but just didn't think a dead bug would be enough for them replacing the monitor.

james.miller · 23 Jul 2006 at 18:09

well manufacturers do, and you could technically argue that its similar to dead pixels as explained above. Even though it isnt, it happens because their tft's arent sealed correctly
