Panels with more pixel-errors than usually ?

  • I build computers for people, and have since New Year ordered 3 Viewsonic VP912s and 1 Viewsonic VX912 , and i have yet to see one that is pixel error free.
    All have 1, 2 or 3 subpixel errors.
    The worst one of them i tried to return, but it was refused to be replaced, today by Viewsonic.
    It had 2 subpixels defect in the same pixel, red and green constantly on, and that gave a bright yellow dot, and it was placed in the center of the screen, and a few cm towards the upper left corner.In my eyes the worst possible place, because it's where you will have your focus on the screen most of the time.
    Anyway, my problem is that i had planned to buy a VP912S for myself aswell, but now i'm starting to get second thoughts.
    Have i been unbelievable unlucky, or is there infact an increased amount of pixel errors on that type of panel?


    Additional question :
    I have heard that Samsung are planning to extend the 'no pixel error policy' they have in parts of Asia to Europe, starting the 7th. Feb.
    Is that correct, and if 'yes' ,then my next question is :
    Is it covering subpixels and everything, or is it just a 'no bright or dark pixel error' policy ?
    Is there a link where i can read about the policy?


    And a last question:
    Is it true that Samsung has redrawn 913N from the market, because of too many pixel errors ?


    Thanks.

  • 1. You have been very unlucky ;( That is really shitty.


    2. Viewsonic has in ger. a 0 dot policy


    3. It will come, I don´t have a date, but already wrote in the german sector, that til the end of year we will have 0 dot policies by different companies.


    4. No link, sorry.


    5. Never heard that the 913 was redrawn cause of too many pixelerrors.

  • Thanks for the answer.
    Im curious about the German 0 dot policy from Viewsonic.
    Can you give me a link to that?


    Because according to this , they only have this in both Germany and Denmark(where i live), and most of rest of Europe:
    ''For any sub pixel defect (red or green or blue) ViewSonic LCD display products are warranted in accordance with the ISO standard 13406-2 class II. On pixels ViewSonic exceeds ISO 13406-2 class II requirements not allowing for any defective (permanently dark or bright) complete pixel consisting of red, green, and blue sub pixels (“Zero Pixel Defect Policy”).''


    If they really have no pixel error tolerance in germany, can't help wondering if they ship all the monitors with errors to Denmark.
    A bit far fetched, i know, but with my luck lately i cant help thinking that.
