stuck/dead pixels (?)

bastic · 11 Aug 2011 at 12:49

Hey,
Im all confused about dead and stuck pixels...
are those 2 names used for same defect ?
is dead pixel, not showing a colour at all and stuck displaying always same colour ? (in my case bright blue ) ..

and I have a couple more pixels in lower corner of my screen that I have no idea how to call them...you can see them only at an angle. and it looks similar to a defect you can get on a LCD of a mobile phone when you scratch the screen and pixels are transparent but can deform a picture (not sure if it makes any sense...) how do you call them ??
Will try to get some pictures up once I get home...

Dead/unlit is when the pixel doesn't light up at all, and shows black or a darker colour of the current colour that is being displayed on the monitor.

Stuck is when it's a single colour which is stuck at being that colour permanantly, like bright red.

(I think).

afaik a stuck pixel is also refered to as a bright pixel, if the screen has a premium pannel guarantee then you can exchange it for that reason

I don't know how long you've had it but if you bought it mail order you should, or could have, returned it under the DSR if you're not happy with the pixel faults.

Unless they've appeared recently and you've owned it a while.

once bought, it stayed in a box for a while(long while)
and those 'faulty' pixels were spotted after a while as well, when having closer look on the screen and on an angle lol

Could it be dust behind the glass?

Talking about pixel defects, I might mention that I seem to be having a semi-stuck green pixel or should I say stuck semi-subpixel (no, not subpixel) in my glass WC. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it seems that only a part of the green subpixel is lit all the time. Below you can see the defective subpixel on the left and a regular green subpixel on the right for comparison.

those 'transparent I was taking about could only be seen on white background and were emitting light red colour.
they seem to disappear when I cleaned the screen hmmm maybe some added pressure helped ? will check tomorrow again if they will show up again, will consider trying to get a replacement screen...
