how many dark pixels do you need to have to return a lcd tv?


my 23" samsung (bought 3 weeks ago) has a small dark mark near the bottom middle of the screen but the pixels all seem to be working when looking close just a bit dull

anyone else had this and got a replacement?

also i dont want a replacement if i go from dull pixel to dead pixels
thanks

I have a dark smudge on the inside of my 19 LG monitor, it looks like a dirty thumb print, the pixels are all working but it is annoying when viewing a light even coloured screen.

I decided to accept it rather than get a non smudged screen but might have a dud pixel or two (more annoying I feel)

I assume it's some pressure mark that occurs during manufacture but I am not sure.

If it's really annoying I'd take it back.

it only really shows up on plain screens esp white bit it is only small as one pixel and im like you i dont want to swap it and then get one with a dead pixel as that would be worse

hmm it does sound like a stuck or dead pixel, on one of my LCD panels I could gently rub the screen with a soft cloth and the pixel behaved itself, sadly it finally decided to stick to green, luckily it's not too noticable.

Depends on the maker and/or supplier warranty conditions.

Panasonic have several permutations for number, colour and location of dead (dark) pixels, but allow 0 permanently on pixels anywhere.
