Title: televisions dead pixels ?
Post by: graeme 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 ?

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.

Post by: Squeeguk on October 22, 2012, 10:12:40 am: 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:
