Samsung Guarantees Zero Dead Pixels

Samsung Electronics announced Thursday that from Jan. 1, customers who discover defective pixels on an LCD monitor produced by the company less than six months after its purchase may have the panel replaced free of charge.

An LCD monitor is made up of hundreds of thousands of tiny pixels. Manufacturers have classified products with 10 or less defective pixels as "normal" and refused to repair or exchange them, which led to complaints from customers. Samsung added, however, that the free exchanges do not apply to customers who purchased their LCD monitors before Jan. 1.

sweet

 

Hmmmm is it possible to manually kill a pixel?

 

The only ways I can think of would make it obvious you did it (using a hammer or other large object).

 

Just wondering coz thers bound to be someone thats going to try and take advantage of that

 

But why would they break pixels just to get it repaired for free when they could just ummm not? Wouldn't really benefit them now would it?

 

uhh i think that was the point i was trying to make...but put more intelligently :good:

 

"Hey Samsung! Looks like this here big hole in my monitor caused by a blunt object that I did not do has killed some pixels!"

 

no coz say five months down the line .......... oh wiat no u get the same monitor sorry rongly read the statement

 

Samsung: What a coincidence, we've had 59 other moniters with this same problem....*BATCH RECALL*

 

Thats really good news. I would be really annoyed if I got an LCD monitor with a bunch of dead pixels near the centre.

 

Yeh me too

 

I'd be pissed if it even had one dead pixel ... If I'm paying upwards of $350 for a monitor, it had better be flawless
