televisions dead pixels ?
« on: October 22, 2012, 08:40:55 am »
Well my t.v. decided to stop working on sat night just wont turn its self on so on Sunday went into Curry's picked up a 50" 3d led t.v. took it home plugged it in and noticed that there were 3 dead pixels.. They are hardly noticeable however because i know they are there its almost like i am looking for them !

Do you think i should take it back or am i just being stupid ?

Most manufacturers have an acceptable allowance of dead pixels per screen size. You will find the cheaper units have the chance of more dead pixels than the more expensive brands and thus a higher allowance. They also take into account the position of the dead pixels, etc.

Its a Samsung so it should be a decent tv ? i know they have an allowance for how many dead pixels but because i have just bought it i could return it to currys and just say that i am not happy with it? well i hope thats how it will work.

Yeah, definitely take it back. I've had numerous Samsung TV's over the years and have never had one 1 dead pixel...... Now that I said that, watch my next TV. :signLOL:
