Dead pixel

[e4chan]

Hey all,

Anyone notice upon delivery if they had a dead pixel on either screen? I had a dead pixel on my dashboard. Luckily Tesla SC is going to replace it tomorrow.

First I've personally heard of this. Is it very noticeable?

Take a pic!

I'll try to take a pic tomorrow. It's a single pixel that is apparent, since the dashboard is dark.

is it always on or off, all colors or just one/two sub pixel ?

What's more interesting to me is that this is the first I've heard of a dead pixel on an MS screen. Thinking about it, I would have expected at least a few of these to have been reported by now, but no. They must have very good quality control at their screen manufacturer.

well that was bound to happen eventually. usually most manufacturers won't replace unless you have at least 3-5 dead pixels within the warranty period. the fact that Tesla is replacing for just 1 dead pixel is surprising to me, but good to know!

To be fair the pixel was dead at delivery so I'd expect them to replace it.

Here is the pic. In the day time, it's green....you don't really notice it...but at night, it is white...and you can see it better. Unfortunately I don't have a night picture. You can see what was taken just now.

They were very good about it....because I know if it was Apple, they would have just passed it by and tell me to wait until more pixels were dead (well...they would probably just give me a new iPhone, if I would have seen it at the store when I opened it).

It's in the shop now getting replaced as we speak . So, I am quite pleased with the result.

Wow.

Good music FAIL.

I guess I should have noticed what was playing on the media before posting . Top hits just happened to be playing Selena .

That's not a dead pixel. That's a stuck (sub-)pixel. A dead pixel would've been less noticeable than a stuck or hot pixel.

Kind of amazing indeed.

I have one dead pixel - almost since my delivery ~13 months ago..never really bothered me but I may mentioned when I go in for 37.5k service at the wens of the month.

As I've posted on the tech thread, when we ran up and down to/from Prescott the day before yesterday, a vertical line - thin and black - running the entire length of my screen appeared. I performed a re-boot - no change. I went to the Scottsdale SC today, where they also both performed a re-boot, then a fuse-out-and-wait: no change. They said they've never seen this before.

So it's to the appointement-scheduling on Monday for a 3 1/2 hour screen replacement surgery.
