24" also got promotion few months ago ... but RM699 lah ...

wahlao..so cheap....rm399....ARB or retail?? i think must be sold out within the first few hours.....

arb stands for ?

Dead Pixel = White on black screen
Red dot = stuck pixel (you better with with Dell what is their policy on that, Samsung have a 1:1 exchange for a single red dot within 7 days).

Correct me if I'm wrong, you cant see the red dot under black page cause, to display black, all the pixel is on "ON" position. Hence any stuck pixel doesnt show up. Black screen test is to look for "Dead" pixle which will show up white.

Pls dont rub the area etc etc... it doesnt work. You migth come worse off and leave mark on the LCD screen...

Retail, but stock clearance if not mistaken. Comes with full 3-5 years warranty. I dont think they would do ARB sales on their official website.

I will do the honor to correct you, because you are all wrong.

1) Dead pixel doesn't show any color. It is pure black, because the pixel is off. It is dead. So your claim of dead pixel = white on black screen is misleading.

2) A stuck pixel happens when 3 sub-pixels (either red, green or blue, or could be a combination) is left lit on the screen. So a red stuck pixel will not be seen on a red screen. When you cycle to other color like green, the red subpixel which is stuck there will remain as red, so you can see a small red dot.

3) The rubbing technique works on some, it is one of the most popular technique to unstuck a stuck pixel. So if it doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it doesn't work for others. Do not make a conclusion based on your experience. Nobody ask you to rub using your razor blade, how will gently rubbing leave marks on a LCD screen?

Go wikipedia,search for dead pixel,understand it then only try to advice others la...

Well said there, kianwee.

MeToo got 0Wn3D!

Back to topic, i can vouch on the rubbing technique (or screen burn-in remedy), it works sometimes on stucked pixels, depends on ur luck though

Dead Pixel : Well, when the transistors of a pixel is dead, the result would be a white dot as lights would not be blocked from passing thru the RGB? Isnt this what we refer to as "Dead" pixel?

Such "stuck" fixing method generally doesnt work. And even when it does (sure there are claims it worked) most commented that the problem comes back. Also, the LCD is made of plastic, although it is coated with an anti-glare coating and is somewhat scratch resistance to a good degree. This surface is not however scratch proof. Even rubbing using a piece of cloth might produce abrasion on the screen.

The monitor in question is an UltraSharp series (?) Their replacement for that is ONE bright dots (or more ofcourse) or 6 dark dots. My advice would be to leave it in perfect order while asking for a new unit, why risk leaving physical deformities when you want to claim Dell??



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_pixel this one ar bro? Aiya this is a forum, you got constructive things to say then post lah. Even if wrong atleats someone correct you and you learn. Oneliners....

Very matured and constructive post. Thanks for gracing us with your non-judgemental and flawless logic.

lol....chill chill.....dead pixel is just like what kianwee said....its black....and it doesnt emit any form of color.....if stuck pixel might got some color....dat u haf to use the rubbing technique.....dead pixel is dead....forever.....
