Default Dead pixels?

Hi guys,

how many of you are you having troubles with dead pixels? I already returned my 7.7 two times (!) -two times a dead red (sub)pixel. The new one it arrived just now with a green dead pixel ;(

I don't know if i even dare to ask for a new one.

Could someone give me a reliable source? I'm sick of returning it over and over again.

Is it dead or stuck? If it is dead it will not light up. If it is stuck it stays on. If it is just stuck you can google video files that will attempt to unstick pixels.

Mine has no dead pixel, but there is a tiny dust between its front panel and OLED.

It looks like a dead pixel

Since I got from HK reseller, it's too hard to send back and exchange it.

Besides, I doubt they allow exchange for this case.

mine has one in the left bottom corner. I only notice if after I install honeybar. (the menu bar hide it pretty well; in portrait or landscape)
