There is a pixel out on my monitor and I debated getting a new monitor.
That would annoy me and I'd spend too much time looking at it and thinking about it. I can't live under those conditions.
That's one of the first checks I do when I unbox a new monitor. Red, green, blue, white, black; scan each one very carefully. Then, does it suffer from edge bleed? After a color calibration, is it as accurate as described?
I went through 3 panels on my gaming laptop, and literally... 8, I believe, on my desktop the last time I upgraded monitors. Laptop was the same panel of course but I kept getting bad edge bleed. Different screens and panels for the desktop but same issue. And once you notice it, it will drive you crazy. I returned a second-hand laptop because of a single stuck pixel, too, a few years ago.
I game regularly in a pitch-black room and these things are so obvious, I don't understand how they pass quality control. Next one will be oled though, I'm tired of this bullshit.
Though then you get into crushing blacks and dark grays (on the phones I've had anyway)... Can't catch a break.
If it was brand new, id probably return it, but it was 5 years old when the pixel went out. Yeah, the pixels are failry obvious, shouldn't pass qa/qc id be suprised if a new display had 8 stucks pixels. Thankfully color bleeding and sruff doesn't bother me,but im color deficient, id probably be ocd about that too.
When the DS came out, I walked 20 minutes to the mall, picked one up, walked home, and started playing.
I noticed it had one red stuck pixel.
I had my dad drive me back when he came home and got a new one.
My PSP has one white pixel but the pixels are so small, I kept it… especially because it was a Christmas present.
