for you laptop owners with a dead pixel or two.

i have a new laptop with what i believe to be a dead or defective pixel. its
a black spot that is always black. AND it is not the same color black as
when the screen is off. i can actually see the spot when its powered off.

the other odd thing is that when i'm looking at the screen perpendicular to
its surface i can see this spot, like over some text. BUT when i change my
viewing angle, it moves away from its original location.

the way i noticed this was i moved a window with some text in it so that the
dot was in the center of the letter o. then i changed my viewing angle and
it moved away or outside the o. its as if the spot is located above the
other pixels.

does this sound like a dead pixel to you?

thanks.

Nope... sounds like a piece of dirt.
 
yeh, but its NOT on the surface of the screen. its like its on the opposite
side of the glass, but above the transistors.
 
If it's new, I'd try and do an exchange or at least a repair. There's no
good reason for dirt being in there.

I don't think the display can be disassembled easily though, so I wouldn't
try and fix it myself.
