My watch looks to have developed a dead pixel between the 11 and 12 o'clock position (in attached photo, you can see it as a darker spot on the white face).
Dead Pixel?
- Thread starter tilda
- Start date
That might be the exact same pixel which died on mine a few days ago...

Interesting - yours looks slightly further from bezel but very close.
I wonder what the return policy is for dead pixels?

hello,
It can not be coincidence. I had a defect in the same place !!
Watch I have sent a complaint. I looked through the microscope and defect pixel but not one circle over about 4x4 pixels.
I'll let you claim ...

I have a couple dead pixels right at the 11:00 mark too. But closer to the edge.
Stuck pixel fixer app does not fix it
Do you guys think there's a pressure point under the OLED that's squeezing and making that particular corner more vulnerable? If so, opening up the watch and relieving the pressure on that corner could fix it.

I had a, not dead pixel, but a stuck pixel that was most visible on green backgrounds, i got the watch replaced without any fuzz from reseller (i live in Sweden)
Edit: mine was not in the same location as yours are, it was from left to right dead center and from top to bottom slightly below center of screen

Thanks guys - mine was bought from Amazon and they are usually pretty good at replacing stuff. I'll drop them a line as soon as I get a chance.
It's getting worse on my watch. There are about 10 dead pixels by now and a few in a big spot. Amazon told me to call LG first, which is what I am going to do now...
Hmmm - that's worrying. At the end of the day, if Amazon sold it to you, it is their responsibility and (assuming that you bought it in the UK), if it fails in the first 12 months, the onus is upon hte vendor (Amazon) to prove that it wasn't faulty at the time of sale.
In practical terms, I would call LG and if (when?) you get nowhere, phone Amazon back and tell them that LG indicated that it was faulty and should be returned.
Thanks for your answer. I called LG and they were very polite about the issue. They will replace it without charge. I hope that the next one will not develop the same issue after a few months.
OLED-Burn In is not that much of an issue if your display dies after a few months anyway :good:

That's great news - any idea about the turn-around time?

I'm on my third watch now because of dead pixel problems. One was right smack dab in the middle of the screen, the other was in the 11 o clock position, like most of you.
Luckily, my third watch seems to be just fine, aside from an absurdly thick band that I'm going to replace anyway.

Odd that they all seem to happen at the 11 O'clock position
I had a dead pixel at 11 o'clock also.
I bought LG Watch R 2 months ago, and a dead pixel shows at 11 o'clock a week ago. It's interesting that we all have the single dead pixel at the same position, this must be a systemic problem of this LG Watch R. I will call LG tomorrow.
How can I upload the picture I took for my LG Watch R?

Dead or stuck píxel on lg g watch r oled?
Today this dot appeared on the lg g watch r screen between the 11 and 12 o'clock. Is it a dead pixel or just a stuck pixel? The colour looks red instead of black which I guess means stuck pixel doesn't it? Today I used a watch face that it's only red and that contributes to the idea that it's just stuck instead of dead. I've run a stuck pixel fixer Wear app for 2 minutes and its still there. Any opinions and a fix guide?

MIne looks exactly like yours and in the same location. I just called LG Customer Service and they sent me a packing label to send in for repair. I should have it back in 2 weeks. I'll keep you guys posted on what comes of this.Dead or stuck píxel on lg g watch r oled?

Got my LGGWR about 3 days ago (1 week after it was sent) and they gave me a brand new one! The one I had sent in had a big dead pixel around the 11 o'clock location and I sent it in without any bands, as I have purchased one from Amazon and didn't want to "lose it". They sent me a brand new unit with the original band even. GO LG!
I have a feeling this one will yield similar dead pixels issues as the original, but I can't really complain at this point.
