Monitor brand with the best warranty?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hey guys, i'm super picky about my monitors, ( anyone who works full time on a computer should be ) and I bought an Asus monitor, that developed a dead pixel after 6 months, which is not eligible for an exchange, so I sold it and bought a refurbished Dell 30" 2560x1600 monitor, and after a month, stuck pixel that won't go away.

I'm now selling the dell monitor to get something else. ( although I won't be able to afford another 2560x1600 monitor ) but what brand has the best dead/stuck/hot pixel guarantee?

I'm really trying to talk my self into living with it, but when you spend 8 hours a day working on a computer with a black background, doing work where sometimes you have to count pixels and no such thing as " close enough " having a red pixel stick out is very annoying.

Anyway, Any ideas on what brand to buy? preferably one with a 12 month no dead stuck pixel warranty.

I guess I'm luckier than I thought then, I've never had/seen any dead pixels!

the kicker is my $100 dell monitor I have for another computer is flawless and looks amazing.

I actually contacted the place I bought the monitor for, and a slight chance it may be covered under their warranty, but these items are hard to find, and i'll more than likely get a store credit if they decide to take it back. ( which i doubt )

I've personally never had any of the supposed fixes work. ( software, rubbing, tapping, etc )
EDIT: its a stuck pixel, not dead. My old craptop had several dead pixels.
