Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

nice try, a bit out of context tho.

I never said one company shoudlnt have one over the other.
I said it shouldnt happen in general. there should infact be a better way to make lcd screens now that they'd of gotten past dead pixels. And i certainly never said sony wouldnt or shouldnt have them while ds would like jonbo implied.

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

Your right, I should have specified that there was a difference.

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

Sony has confirmed that the Square button problem was fixed for the NA units. I don't how well they fixed it, but I haven't heard any complaints about it from anyone who's bought an NA unit, so far.

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

However, the IGN forums are littered with posts about dead pixels...

Though it seems like some people are being overly picky, crying about a single dead pixel and how it means the unit is 'defective' and so they will return it again and again until they have a completely dead pixel-free unit...

And then a bunch of other people replying saying "I HAVE LIKE 5 DEAD PIXELS AND IT STILL DOESN'T BOTHER ME DURING THE GAMEPLAY CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY!!1"

It's rather amusing... I realize this whole topic is about the dead pixel issue, I'm just pointing out that a majority of the stuff people are talking about on IGN is dead pixels... It's quite a widespread problem it seems!

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

Well, 1 dead pixel is VERY annoying. 5 makes it even worse and soem people can stand it and others cant. I just couldnt sit there with a little flashing or black/red pixel being there all t he time while I'm playing a game :eyes:

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

I have one dead pixel, it doesnt bother me because it mostly disappears during gameplay, I only see it when there a black screen...

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

It's not even a big deal at all....

My friend has 1 dead pixel, and it's not even noticeable because your totally immersed in gameplay.

I don't have dead pixels, thankfully, and my square button works. Sony seemed to have had the Unit overhauled for NA launch.

And even if you have 5 dead pixels, it's not noticeable during gameplay. Unless you're REALLY obsessive about it.

I almost imagined a thread like this to start, amongst the mass hype for the PSP.

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

Same with my DS. I have a red pixel but once the game starts, it's gone. Gotta take the good with the bad, right?

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

Dead pixels are almost frequent with LCD screens, be it the DS or the PSP.... so why the thread title "PSP: Dead pixels?"

One can only imagine.

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

Because we had a "DS: dead pixels" thread?

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

Pwned!

Seriously though, if my screen had only one or two dead pixels, I don't think it would bother me. As long as the dead pixel wasn't like the plague, slowly killing other pixels around it, then I'd be happy.

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

My TFT monitor had 1 dead pixel. I could either get 10% off the price (that made $40), or another screen. I chose the other screen. :) My (*%^$Ô*%^%#) father had a dead pixel and it always bothered me.

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

we should make a thread called "LCD Screens: Dead pixels" and be done with this mish mash fanboy gatherings.

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

I don't think think this thread was created with fanboy intentions, we're just analyzing the issue for PSP. Like Angrist mentioned, there was a DS Dead Pixel thread, which in fact I created. We're just observing how the company will deal with it and how prevalent the problem is with current owners.

/me waves a DS flag of peace

Once people have resolved this issue, this thread will sink to depths of the old threads ocean.

Re: PSP: Dead Pixels
 

Well maybe your right, but I don't think this issue wil ever be resolved (the dead pixel issue) considering it exists within so many LCD screens.

However this thread will eventually sink as you put it.
