1 Pixel = 1/3 Each Color, with the green stuck on. That 30% you see... according to this guy.
Please understand what I wrote. It is NOT a full sub-pixel. I DO NOT have a full sub-pixel stuck. The dot is irregular in shape.
"I noticed the green dot as being about 30% the area of the lit adjacent red sub-pixel. It also had an irregular shape unlike the lit red which has a vertical, sharply defined, rectangular shape.
Anyone has a clue as to what is happening?
How is it possible to have only part of a sub-pixel stuck?"

Thanks for replying, but you misunderstand me.One Pixel = 3 colors = red, green, blue... the red looks bigger because it is lit... unless you have a tiny hole on the panel display, the Green sub pixel is stuck or dead.
You have to understand why these are so cheap and there is a reason why these are A- Grade Display Panels. The green dot may be one of the reasons it got down graded or rejected/binned by the big brands.. In a scheme of things, 1 dead sub pixel is not noticeable with millions of outher pixels.
If you didn't have that green dot, there may be other defects that makes it an A- Grade.
Thanks for replying, but you misunderstand me.
Only 30% of the green sub pixel is stuck. I used a jewelers loupe to magnify the area and I can clearly see the shape of the red sub pixels on a red screen. The green stuck part right next to it is only ~ 30% in size and irregular in shape. It is NOT a full green sub pixel that is stuck. I am not saying 30% of the pixel is stuck, but that 30% of the green sub pixel is stuck
Perhaps I do have 'hole' in the display.
When I have a green screen, I cannot see any defects. It appears that the other 70% of the flawed sub pixel works normally. Same thing with a white screen.Then you have a partialy dead green sub pixel... 1/3 part of the dead sub green pixel = still a dead green sub pixel... does the other 2/3 lit up?

Only when the green sub pixels are totally off as in black, red and blue screens, can you see the flaw appear as a partially lit green sub pixel.
I used this page for observing http://jasonfarrell.com/misc/deadpixeltest.php
just picked up one from 120hz.net. Still a few left if anyone sees this.

$555, not sure if I'd be willing to pay that amount to the administrator of the website, not the seller green-sum directly. $550+$5 fee is kind of steep. Just my $0.02.
Still a good price though for a 120Hz, but still a gamble being a A-. Just wished it was pixel perfect and matte screen.
Actually I don't notice it in normal use and am surprised I saw it at all. I had a black screen in a dark room at the time. I am interested in the why and how of the defect, not as a problem.Wow... you must be really searching for it then to have found it!
If it is just one "partial" and you don't notice it during normal use then it really is not an issue... But if you do notice it during normal use then it would be an issue = I know it would bother me which is why I haven't made the jump yet (still looking and waiting for other options).
Wow... checked it out and they're selling it for $555 and they sold out the first 200 pcs in less than an hour?!D:
Last month they were selling them for about $465...
For those looking to get one, the Admin organizing the group buy will have another 200 pcs available in later on today...
Don't know if it is supply vs demand and the seller or factory taking advantage... or the Admins planning use the extra cash to start up their own USA company to sell these montiors...
Backlight bleed is overrated. My Shimian has it fairly bad but I never notice it. How often do you stare at black screens?
I guess most people don't but I look at dark screens quite a bit. I ignore webpage colors and force the background to black.
I was tempted to buy one of these until looking at some threads on another forum, which was filled with pictures of these monitors that had back light bleed one after the other. In fact I know of at least one ebay seller that says it can't be avoided...

Someone in the USA Military stationed in So. Korea said these monitors are only sold in seedy electronics markets that also sell fake ipods?

He also stated that no legit electronics stores in Korea would even carry/sell these monitors...
