I got my nice new hanns-g today, very impressed so far, I do have 2 stuck pixels tho. They're not really in the way, or bothering me too much, but I would like to remove them if possible, I have JScreenfix, and ran it for about 10 mins earlier and I didnt fix them, was just wondering if anyone knew how long I should be trying for? Is it an over night job?

some people claim you can move/fix a stuck/dead pixel by massaging it.

it does/can work. My mate had my TFT at the start as i couldn't deliver to my house due to no one being in, and he accidentally clattered into it pretty hard, hitting over a stuck pixel i had, and it dissapeared 
It reappears every now and again, but just massaging it gets rid of it now. lol

I had two when i got mine m8, ran tjhe screen fix for 10 mins got rid of one, I left it on over night for the other but it never went away
Got the OcUK Gamer 198YP 19" 2 weeks ago.
3 Dead Green Pixels as soon as i turned it on.
I'd never even heard of the problem before always had a CRT and was my first TFT Monitor.
No amount of massaging or running progs has cleared it.
Yusmart the manufacturer or overclockers don't wanna know as it does'nt fall under the minimum amount of dead pixels to validate the warranty.
£150 down the toilet .
I'm looking for a new monitor again and my Yusmarts in the box.
Guess i'll stick to CRT as i know what i'm getting then.

modez said:No company should sell any TFT Monitor with the dead pixel, specially when you pay a lot of money.
TFT Monitor with the dead pixel is a faulty monitor.
I quite agree.
However overclockers sales dept and yusmart disagree.
I think 5 is the minimum dead pixels before they will do anything.
Aye different manufacturers have different standards, anre't they called ISO standards?
I remember having my Viewsonic VP930 ... thankfully I bought mine during the time they had a special warranty where by even if you had just 1 stuck sub pixel you could return it and get a new one (return the monitor not the sub pixel btw

These monitors are definately faulty and they have not been checked on quality control when they come from the manufacturers. I would say this is a bad batch which the e-tailers and re-tailers buy at a very cheap price and sell overpriced.
How come out of 10 monitors 3 come up with dead pixels and the other 7 they are perfect. If all these TFT monitors are supposed to have a certain amount of dead pixels then you would see them on every single monitor, not just 2 or 3 etc,. Also, if the specification of the monitor is to have a minimum of 5 dead pixels then why isn't this advertised and why aren't customers notified of this before they purchase a TFT monitor.
The bottom line is the e-tailer and the re-tailer should always keep their customers happy by checking the quality of the monitor before they sell them, that would boost the reputation and their recognition for themselves.
I think it is always good to check the merchandise before you sell them to the customers because you know if somebody sells you a good product you will always go back to them with 100% trust.
I bought a Logik LCD TV 27" 2yrs ago, it was reduced from £1600 to £1000 and when I brought it home it had 1 dead pixel right in the centre of the screen and it was really annoying me. I phoned up the place where I bought it from and the Manager said "what do you expect it has been reduced from £1600 to £1000" , I said " It doesn't matter whether it has been reduced or not I am not happy with the product and I want a replacement or an immediate refund". I waited 2 days for one to be delivered and it arrived and it was perfect. Now you see what my point is that there was no dead pixel on the replacement.
Sorry, to go on but I do feel that the customer is sometimes given a raw deal.
Regards
One of my Dell 2007WFP has stuck pixel (its green) but its very hard to even find it so I am not to bothered. If I had more than 1 I would want to send it back, surely you can use the "long distance trading act" against them?
I considered doing that for my 2 dead pixels, but I prolly wont as mine are quite out of the way, and i cant afford a better monitor so chances are my new one might have more dead pixels, or dead pixels in a more annoying place. I can just about live with mine, the only time i see them is in movie playback, and mostly they are in the black borders.

I think people sometimes get a bit too worked-up over stuck pixels. Think about it. What failure rate would you think was acceptible? 1 in 1000 pixels is dead? How about 1 in 10,000 pixels. How about 1 in 100,000? 1 in 1,000,000? Just thinking about it I'd say that 1 defect in one million parts is a pretty good yield.
Take a standard 17" monitor with 1280 x 1024 pixels resolution. Doing some quick arithmetic shows us that that's 1,310,720 pixels. Think of a 30" then at 3840 x 2400 pixels. That's 9,216,000 pixels. If just 4 of them were faulty, as is the most you can have before OcUK will replace it as defective, that's still just 1 defect per 2,304,000 pixels.
