When going through the white balance adjustments, I found that I had two unbeforeseen green sparklies. They are not visible at or above 75% white but are most visible at 29 and 43%. At 14% they dim down a little and at 0% they ALMOST black out entirely.
If in fact the pixels were dead (i.e., always on), wouldn't they be just as bright at 0% white than at any other percent level. In fact, shouldn't they be MOST notable at 0% when the rest of the screen is dark?
When I purchaced my laptop 3 years ago, Dell sold several with a few bad LCD pixels (as did other manfactures), and there was talk of a program that would give your pixels a "work out", sometimes reviving lazy (or even dead) pixels. Does anyone know of this program and where it can be obtained? It would be easy to plug the laptop into the Hitachi to try and excercize the little buggers to see if that helps.
