OcUK 24" Dead Pixel Problem

[ram201]

I bought one of the OcUK 24" monitors a couple of weeks ago and up until yesterday has been brilliant. But last night whilst on the xbox 360 an entire row of pixels suddenly went black.

I'm gonna try and return the monitor asap but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

It seems unlikely to me that a whole row of pixels would suddenly die. I don't really know much about monitors is this problem more likely to be a dodgy connection inside (ie the "controller" for that row)?

If you look in the big thread for this monitor there are a few that have had this problem.

Yep happened to both of my OCUK monitors. First had a row of dead pixels as soon as I switched it on. Second was fine for 4-5 days and then I switched it on and it had the row of dead pixels. I decided to not get a 3rd replacement and got a Dell E248wfp instead, lovely screen but it is TN but I am using it as a second screen so not a biggy for me.
