Out of 3 tft's, which to choose?

Well..All due respect...But it shouldnt be something you HAVE to live with, it costs nearly £300, and its got a fault, we get TFT's coming through work all the time, and i think ive seen ONE dead pixel, Tis sillly...

Il give em a ring, See what they have to say really...
 
Let me know what running non-standard res is like.

I might be looking at a big TFT (bigger than 1600x1200 and 20" diagonal) and even with a X1900XT, I wouldn't want to be running fear at 1920 x 1200 :eek:
 
Hmz i will soon as, well i ran FEAR in 800x600 :P As my current system is kinda pants currently...Soo ill get back to you on that one wen i get my new system up and going :)

Just want this sub-pixel gone.

i understand totally mate, and i would feel just the same as you if i was in your position here. It is a shame that pixel defects are a problem, and it has certainly been discussed several times before. The reality is that whether the consumer likes it or not, we have to live with the fact that some screens have pixel defects. Until the time that manufacturers guarantee zero pixel defects, some people unfortunately end up with problems. My only advice if you can't bring it back to life as you have tried, is to contact the manuf and see what they say. If they can;t offer a replacement, then you can approach the retailer about returning it under the distance selling act.

hope you have some luck :)
 
Meh, just waiting for a reply from the E-tailor...

Theyll probably go, err, nothing to do with us, ring the manufacturer :D...Yeah, ta.

How does the distance selling act work tho, no point in me trying to use it if i dont know the full terms of it :P
 
Distance selling is if you can return it with all original packaging in as "as new" state (it helps if you can make it look un-opened but that might not be ethical so leave it to you) you are entitled to full refund.

It's to balance the "browsing" you can do in a shop. In a shop you can usually open the product and have a look at it before deciding to buy or not. Ordering off the net obviously not.

Basically so long as you've done nothing to lower the value of the goods and the seller can easilly put back into stock your covered for 7 days from purchase. Alternatively see what the retailer has regarding re-stocking for incompatible/unwanted items. Will mean your out of pocket but not nearly £300 out of pocket to a screen you feel is sub-standard.

3. Under the Distance Selling Regulations (2000) you have the right to cancel the contract relating to your order at any time up to the end of 7 working days after the goods are delivered. To exercise your right of cancellation, you must give written notice to Overclockers UK by letter, fax or WebNote giving details of the goods ordered and date received. Notification by phone is not acceptable. If you exercise your right of cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations (2000) after the goods have been delivered to you, you will be responsible for returning the goods to Overclockers UK at your own cost. The Distance Selling Regulations (2000) places a duty on you to take reasonable care of the goods once you have exercised your right to cancel. Returned items must be packaged properly and shipped in a plain outer box. Please try to include all internal packaging, cables, manuals, drivers and protective bags, however small. Overclockers UK will refund you within 30 days for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit or debit card for the goods. If after exercising your right under the Distance Selling Regulations (2000) you do not return the goods as required, Overclockers UK may charge you a sum not exceeding the direct costs of recovering the goods. When exercising your right to cancel under the Distance Selling Regulations (2000) please return goods to Overclockers UK (Esnet Ltd), Unit 40 Imex Business Park, Ormonde Street, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent ST4 3NP.

to be honest, it is rare for them to disappear. They are a defect caused normally during the manufacturing stage. If you can't get rid of it and aren't happy with living with it as it is, your best bet is to contact the etailer. You've tried pretty much everything you can
