Dead pixels

[Celephais]

Dead pixels are one of my biggest pet peeves. As soon as I notice them, I have an impossible time not noticing them. It's like the pop-corn kernel stuck in your teeth, you just keep tonguing it (yes I'm tonguing my monitor, but only when tisket is posting).

So I just got a new monitor and sure enough, fucking dead pixel, pretty close to center. I had heard you could coax dead pixels back to life by rubbing circles around the pixel... and it worked! Fucker popped back on! Anyway no other purchase am I so afraid of getting lemoned, newegg claims you need 8 dead in order to ship it back. EIGHT! This one I ordered from an ebay store, I called them and the guy on the phone said I could send it back w/ one dead, but all their legal notices on purchases were "sale is final".

Anyway for some reason I thought I'd share this innane story.

Dead pixels are dead. Only stuck pixels can be massaged to life.

But congrats! I hate dead/stuck pixels. Drive me absolutely insane. Returned my BlackBerry last year because it had like a dozen.

I love Newegg to death but I would never buy an LCD from them.

I love that you sexually stroked your monitor until it worked.

I love that i'm not the only one who got that from his story.

Does that mean he's used to rubbing flat chests?

That's pretty much my solution to everything.

Then it was all worth it.

No, but a certain button comes to mind.
