I hate LCD screens...

[Luk3us 63]

My laptop booted up today and to my utter horror there was a DEAD ****ING PIXEL!!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x :x

 

In addition my warranty (which I can't use anyway cause it for the States only) says they're only replace the screen if there are at least 10 dead pixels....!!!

 

So now I offically hate all LCD screens.... And vow never to buy one ever again.

 

There is my bitch for to day.

 

 

EDIT: W00t I fixed it muhahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably kicked or slapped it.... doesn't that fix everything? :lol:

[Luk3us 63]

It wasn't dead. It was stuck... My mistake. But I didn't know there was a difference.... Hmm....

 

That was a tense few minutes there.... :lol:

what does a magnet do to a CRT or LCD screen? other than misalign the components?

It completely destoys the monitors color display.

With CRT's is can cause colour patching or bleeding. Think of it like this, if you have a cheap CRT monitor and cheap set of speakers next to it you will have problems. If you buy decent speakers that are magnetically shielded you won't have problems.

 

Same things goes for TV's, stereo speakers etc....

I have my stereo speakers relatively close to my 25" TV, I sometimes get a purple colour patch at the top of the screen, turning the TV off and on clears it up. I can't move the speakers away because the cords are to short, plus I have no where else to put them.

If your moniter has the option you can degause it.

At school we were given speakers (for radios we're building) and we stuck one next to one of the computer screens - it now has a nice blue splodge at the bottom

I had the same when putting my electronic alarm clock/radio on my TV lol
