Putney Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 My Dads new LG Tv has 3 dead pixels. He couldn't see them but everyone else could after I pointed them out. Only one week old. Also my 400D has 1 dead pixel on the screen.If the shop will swap the camera over intime before I go to OZ then I will do it. If not looks like I got to live with it or do a warranty claim when I get back!The TV is not acceptable. I thought they tested each screen before they are sent out. You would think they would have some sensor that could pick up none working pixels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putney Posted December 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I thought dead pixels were a thing of the past!I thought so too. I got myself a new Sony 40X3500 last month or so. I checked it over and over. Thats after the 1st one turned up smashed! My dad didn't even no to look for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 You 'may' have trouble getting them swapped without a bit of a shout.Most outlets work on a percentage basis. From memory when I worked at Comet it was something something like 2% must be dead to warrant an exchange, although they normally caved if the customer gave a good fight.So be nice to start with and just go in expecting a quick swap, and if they say no, shout a bit, make sure the queue hears you, then ask for the manager Generally the manager will side with you even if he/she knows the customer service person is right just to get you out of the store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 that's why I went for a plasma. although LCD in my room, never had an issue. I had a dead on on my DS. Hence why I have a DS lite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
