What's the vacation switch igors?

On the back on the monitor there is main power off/on switch. It's not the same thing as the frontal illuminated power off button. Maybe, monitor is "locked" somehow from the software control point of view and something like "hard reset" is required. Not sure really. Also, I'm worried that you mentioned that monitor box was "dented" big time after the first inspection. It may happen that this caused some problems on the electronic circuit of the monitor. LCD monitors are generally fragile and any mechanical shock can cause the problems, that's for sure.

I remember that one user had similar problems, but not sure if for him the monitor picture was there for a couple of seconds before monitor went dead. He was plugging, unplugging the cables, monitor power off/on and after some playing around monitor was back to life.

lol You know, NEC has one advantage here for the guys like you ... as screen is hardened with the OptiClear coating, no damage should be done ... or so ? Not sure what you are capable of !!! but to be on the safe side, take care where are you aiming with your "apparatus" :D :D :D

Rich, W.O.W ... what a performance !!! and you need helping hand for your thing. Poor pretty NEC. If such unfortunate event is present, and you complain here about the monitor "back bleed" or "burnt" pretty pixels, we will know the cause ... and that's for sure :D

Anyhow, good luck tomorrow ! ;)

No backlight bleed... no dead pixels... alll buttons are perfectly straight.

So pleased you could spank my arse and call me Mandy.

Will report back tonight with some further info! :D
 
Got my replacement aswell, so far no backlight bleed at all :D , now the bad news, 4 stuck pixels right in the middle, 2 stuck on blue right next to each other and 2 not far from them stuck on white, not impressed at all, anyone know how many it needs for a swap out?

Man that sucks! its 3 pixels to swap so do it asap! :mad:
 
My replacement arrived as well and it's brillant, no corner backlight problems and no stuck pixels. I'm really pleased with it now and the advanced DV mode is very impressive now the backlight problem has been sorted. I'm also rather impressed with NEC customer support as they actually phoned me back when i enquired if they had the replacement in stock yet and they emailed me to say the monitor had been dispatched on Thursday.
 
Quick question, are DHL open tomorrow so I can call em to arrange for the old one to be taken away?

Also, were on the NEC site does it say there only needs to be 3 stuck pixels?
