    Checking for dead pixels

    [note: not really for bf2, but dead pixels sometimes can be bothersome to see]

    When you buy a new lcd monitor, you should check for dead pixels first when you bring it home and plug it in. What's a dead pixel? Its basically a pixel on your screen that stays only one color and doesnt change..beacuse its dead. They are usually hard to see because its basically 1 pixel out of 1310720 (my resolution is at 1280X1024) and when u have a color similiar to the dead pixel..its impossible to spot it.

    A good site to check is at

    A quick way to check for dead pixels on LCD displays. Nothing to install.


    and scroll down (read instructions) and click on each of the color links and lets just say..ull kno if u see a dead pixel because with these tests, it makes it more obvious. Make sure your screen is clean and make sure that u try all the tests.
    And i believe that a dead pixel is not fixable (IF THERE IS PLEASE TELL ME) but sometimes u can return it to the store and replace it. I unfortunately can't refund mine (its too late) so ill just have to live with it.
