#2476 — Dead pixels on LED monitor

My monitor had 5 dead pixels in the top LH corner, at the corners and
centre of a rectangle,  Although they were so regular, I thought they
must be fly-dirt!

Now the number has more than doubled.  It this likely to be a
progressive fault?

How old is the monitor?

If it's relatively new, it could be a manufacturing flaw.

If it's old, it's probably failing.  If you get more
and more dead pixels, I'd say it's definitely failing.  Nothing lasts
forever.  But have a tech check it out anyway.  And start saving for a
new monitor.

Thanks.  They all came good today then failed again.  The same ones.

I bought it at the end of Jan 2011.

Sounds like a monitor problem.  Hook the monitor up to a different
computer, and see if the same thing happens. If it does, then the
problem is probably the monitor. If it doesn't, then it's something
else. In either case, have a tech check it out.  Might be repairable,
but probably won't be a cost effective one.

Nah, you actually want the name of the sweet girl distracting the 
chinese foreman at the end of the assembly line, supposedly overlooking 
quality control ...

You could get a new and better monitor for what it would cost someone to 
repair it. (If it even could be repaired)
