Are two stuck pixels a concern on the L9?

[koolsk8ter111]

On the very edges of the screen right where the screen actually ends on my L9, there are two bright green pixels that only appear lit with the green color only, on colored or white/bright backgrounds, but not on a black background and is more visible at certain viewing angles. I have two of these darn things so far I've discovered.



Here's an example of one: http://macmanx.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/stuckpixel1.jpg


except mine is at the very edge of the screen on the right side where the screen ends, so it's kind of tucked out on the edge where the screen starts to have that black border.


Like I said, mine are not on black backgrounds like you see in that picture, in fact the brighter the colors are or the whiter it is the green pixels show there face even more and at a certain viewing angle. So it's a bit of an odd situation when it should be visible only on black backgrounds.




Funny thing is, almost every portable electronic device I own with a screen has one or more of these. Maybe I am just looking for them or am I unlucky when it comes to electronics? Sorry, I am a very picky person XP.

It's only a concern if it really bugs you.

I don't have the best eyes so a single pixel wouldn't even show up to me without putting a drop of water directly on the screen over the pixel.

Is it common? You think everyone else could have them, and I am only looking for them?

I would think there'd be more mention in Google searches concerning dead pixels and this model. I only find three so I wouldn't say it's common unless you're one of the few to notice

Dude, return your phone. I think you've placed three threads already asking whether or not these faults are normal. So far you phone has touchscreen sensitivity issues and dead pixels. The sooner you return and replace it the sooner you'll have a better one.

Oh, dude. Yeah.
If you're having issues with touch you have a faulty screen and its likely to get worse with time

The best way to describe these pixels are that they aren't like typical stuck pixels. They are more visible at a certain viewing angle and they change color based on the color of the background. Basically, if the screen is white, you would see a little bright white stuck pixel size spark on the edge of the screen, if the background is blue, you would see a bright blue spark or stuck pixel shaped thing. The thing is, there are two about an inch away from each other on the exact same side of the screen, right at the edge where the screen ends into that black border that surrounds it.


Here's some pictures of what I am talking about. You can clearly see one of or two them.

Look at the whole album. On the yellow background, you can see both of them. The second one on the yellow is at the left about an inch up the screen:

Here's the whole album, scroll through the photos. The first one is the white one, and the arrow showing where it is. Also, make sure you right click to enlarge the photos. Click large 2048 after right clicking on the flikr photo.

Looks to me like it may be the LED bulbs at the edge that light up the screen. Or it could be faulty pixels at the edge of the screen. Either way my phone doesn't show any of these signs. I'm not sure what answer you're looking for on here. Could it be a slight design flaw on your particular phone? Maybe so. Is it supposed to happen? No. There is no software solution. Its concern depends on the user. If you can mind it, then go on and use the phone normally. If it bothers you, return it.

What's weird is that you can't see them on the black background. If it was a true stuck pixel, you would see it a solid color a black background, right? This seems to be changing color based on the background of the screen. it almost looks like a reflection of one of the pixels that make the screen or a pixel that's hovering over the screen. Also, it's only truly visible when using the phone at a certain viewing angle, like tilting to phone to test out the IPS.

I can't find the dead pixel policy for LG phones. I mean, it changes color, but it's just bright like glitter on both of them.

Update. Actually, the more I tilt the phone different ways, the more I am spotting more of them. It seems to have something to do with the IPS. They are all at the edges of the screen and on both sides too. Maybe it's normal?



Maybe it's how they manufacture the IPS and it's hard to get every pixel corrected perfectly with the IPS technology on the very edges of the screen? I heard that it's hard to manufacture screens.
