Dead Pixel

[guklein]

Hello,

I have an iMac 20'' - using it for 8 months.

I noticed 2 dead pixels on the display. Is it normal (two)? What is an acceptable number of dead pixels?

And maybe the most important question: is there anything to prevent dead pixels?

Thanks.

Apple will not replace any display without 7 dead pixels. I have one dead pixel on my MacBook, but Apple says that every single display has a dead pixel or two. There is nothing you can do to stop dead pixels, but this is OK, and there is nothing you can do.

Gotta love LCD's.

(CRT's FTW. )

What is an acceptable number of dead pixels? Ten?

Re:

I have not had one on my Imac yet and it is a few years old. It will be fine. Just hope you don't get a bunch. I have a Tv that has like 11 and it is only 1.5 year old.
