i just bought a CMV 17" LCD 8 MS with a 3 year warranty but without
the zero dead pixel warranty is this very important.The salesman said that the
normal 3 year warranty did not cover dead pixels,anyway what are the
chance's of pixels dying?

thanx
 
It's hard to say. I have 2 LCD's and a laptop...none of which have dead pixels... Neither my brother's laptop and dad's laptop, both older than my equipment, have dead pixles that I know of. I think you'll be ok...

Then again, my digital camera came with a dead pixel...
 
i hate what newegg and zipzoomfly do, i think u have to have at leat 8 dead pixels to return it, wtf are the chance of that!

If i recall correctly, Samsung's 2005 policy is 0-dead-pixels .... find one and they replace it
 
In my experience, the more the monitor costs, the less likely for dead pixels. My stepdad got a kinda crappy LCD, and his came with like 4 dead pixels. I bought mine, and I still only have one after months of use. Some people never get any O_o, it all depends.
 
If you got a max 1024x786 pixels monitor, the probability of having 1 dead pixel is 0.000124244 % which is a very small percentage, so don't worry :D
 
just one more question....should the monitor be plugged into the vid card using the dvi-d or the d-sub?
 
Depends what your monitor uses, i believe most LCD's use the DVI, and most CRT's use the SUB. If you have a choice between either one, i would go with the DVI.
 
yea it has both and my 6600gt has both so the dvi-i is newer so go with that?
i'm using the d-sub right now caus i'm more familiar with that...
do u need to install any drivers for the dvi-i?

thanx
