Spotted this article An Autopsy Of Dead LCD Pixels posted at Tom's Hardware that asks the question how many dead pixels does it take before the manufacturers agree to replace a LCD monitor?
The list of manufacturers polled has now increased to 36, but the answers are no more encouraging. No manufacturer has a really consumer-friendly policy which would involve straight replacement when dead pixel problems arise.
In our original article, there was one manufacturer which was the exception to the rule. We pointed it out at the time as an example for everyone else should follow. But we are sad to say that two days ago the manufacturer in question, Lite On, informed us that their earlier replies were no longer valid and now they do not exchange their monitors when there is just one dead pixel.
