Some bad news. Working on an Excel spreadsheet up close I suddenly noticed a few stuck pixels. Around 6 to be exact when I counted (i'm only seeing about 3 at a quick inspection now though). Now don't get me wrong, they're hardly noticable, considering I'm generally using the screen up to a distance of a minimum of 3-4 feet, I never see them, but this is a disappointing nonetheless. One is 'stronger' than the others, but thats it. They're all stuck a particular color (dark red/green etc) and i'm looking into these so-called stuck-pixel fixing programs that flash RGB colours in an effort to "reset" them. Anyone have any success with this stuff? And how long should I run it for?
Also, considering the size and weight, the fact that I'd have to rent a truck to take it back and the possibility of getting a defective (banding) model I don't think I'm going to be returning this to Futureshop. What do you guys think?
