Why, do Intel chips make the screen faulty?
They don't. It's a quality control issue with Apples LCD supplier that seems to be getting under control.
You don't have nearly as much punctuation or grammar either huh?
Some, Americans, don't, do, much, better, with, punctuation, either.
PowerPC Macs were better. Intel was the turn for the worst for the Mac.
I am sorry for your troubles. I hope you get it fixed.
i agree x12010912 more people bought since intel came out so they need to make more which makes the parts more cheaper since they have to make so much more
....these kinds of things happens with these screens at times and it just depends....hmmm "hopefully" this screen comes out good. i think that every time i switch a mac. thats all you can do is stick your fingers in a dike and pray....anyone know what movie thats off??

Neither do of the people where you come from.

Come on now folks can't we all just get along? Who has time for grammar when we have a war to run and the world to save?
Take it back
If its not perfect than *($% them. For 2k you should be satisfied. I am typing from a 3.06 that I had replaced.

I was going back and forth between chat and my reply so it got all messed up.

Are you kidding me?? Don't dare dude! Take it back. When you pay 2k for something it should be perfect, dude remember you will probably have this for awhile.
Wow. Out of 15 years of owning laptops/monitors, I have only had one that had a stuck pixel (IBM Thinkpad). I massaged the screen with my finger and it was gone. Then I hear stories like this and I wonder how is it even possible?
Believe me its very possible. My first 3.06 iMac looked great until I set the background to solid black. It revealed over a hundred stuck pixels. I've had many LCD devices and this was the first that I purchased that had any faults on the screen.
I called Apple and 8 days later had the replacement. No problems with it at all.

I pretty much ignore twinks (i would swear but id be banned for good) since i'm not the person to use proper spelling and grammar when schools over.
Once my warranty is up I might try this.
There's one speck in the lower right hand corner that I think is a dead pixel but it kind of "shifts" when I change my viewing angle, like if you had sneezed on the screen or something.
I would give up on Apple. The less switchers the better. BTW I got a 24" imac in Oct and it's been perfect, so I guess I'll be doing the opposite of giving up on Apple.
