Im basicly after 2 tft monitors, as i have limited desk space, and im greedy.

Now ive found two for £150 on ebay, but it states that there is a minimum of 2 dead pixels and the highest seen is 9 dead pixels.

Do you think its worth it? also what are they exactly, how anoying and what to they look like?

your advice would be greatfull.

Steve.

2 dead pixels could be ignored but 9 will just bug you.

i'd tend to think if either of them have that many that they could develop even more.

There are allowed guidelines for dead pixels on TFT monitors similar to this anyway, not sure if it's quite as high as nine though. So you could buy two new monitors from a decent brand name and have a similar thing.

You could buy a brand new one and if 2 pixels go you cant return them because it will still be within manufacturers tolerances. Twisted Evil

16ms respone time is a little slow these days aswell.

personally i'd spend the money on one tft and get a 3 year warranty aswell. (collect and return)

if they are cheaper for having some dead pixels they may be worht it.

i have a plasma tv that was cheap because it has screen burn and i dont really notice it much

if you are a neatness freak, you might find it very annoying tho

i have 2 dead pixels on my tft and i only notice it when the screen is black as they show up green

personally id prefer to get 1 19" tft for £199 than 2 17" tft for £150 but you might like having 2
