    One of the biggest problems with LCD tellys (and to some extent computer monitors) these days seems to be the curse of the missing pixel syndrome.</p>

    What I mean is when one of the tiny pixels that make up the picture seems to fall out and forever becomes a shiny white bit, often shining out in an important part of the picture image. Sometimes you get several.</p>

    A mate of mine has recently bought a 32&quot; LCD telly, and within a week there was a pixel dropout, just one, but boy was it irritating. He took it back to the shop, but they refused to replace it, saying that it was &quot;within the manufacturer's limits of tolerance&quot; or something similar.</p>

    I reckon that's ******!</p>

    When you pay for an LCD telly, you pay for the perfect article, not an imperfect one. And also, when you see LCD screens in magazines and shops there are no bloody pixels missing. As far as I am concerned, it might be within the manufacturer's tolerances, but it certainly ain't within mine, and policy is not always the law.</p>

    Does anybody know anything about this, for example, if you have one, has yours suffered pixel dropout and does your LCD info cover the issue? Cos if it's the case that you can have pixel droput with no redress, then I am just not gonna buy one.</p>

    Yes its very difficult to produce one with no errors

    They are made as one complete unit and there is no way to to fix a faulty pixel - if the rule was only perfect ones were supplied the price would be prohibitive
