So I just received my Tab 7.0 Plus from Amazon and it has one small dead pixel. Super small but its there. Should I return it? Its on the right bottom corner and of course only noticeable in dark colors. I'm tempted to exchange it just for that little pixel. :eek:

I would return it but ask if they have a policy on it. Some companies put a definitive number of "acceptable" dead pixels (depending on screen size) before it warrants an exchange.

The only standard I know of for sure is Apple because their "acceptable" number is zero(0), as in there should not be a single dead pixel regardless. Amazon probably would accept it though, worth a shot. :)

have you tried those apps that try to help fix stuck pixels? on my nexus one i thought i had a couple dead pixels but apparently were only stuck pixels. some app i used did some flashing of different colors and the stuck pixels never showed up again.

One thing I like about Amazon's exchange policy is that they'll immediately send you another tablet while you keep the other. Once you receive the new one, all you have to do is send back the defective one. They don't seem to ask questions about it. I totally bricked my tablet when I rooted it and they took it back.

cool.. Suck that Amazon won't have it on stock for 3-5 weeks per their site. :( I asked wifey and she said it doesnt bothered her and wouldnt even noticed it if I didn't say anything. It was for her so she'll keep it. But If i noticed amazon brings it back in stock soon, I might just exchange.

My story with dead pixel shortly.

I bought my GT6200, same night the battery got empty and the tablet start shutting down and at black screen I saw a dead pixel. Next day I was in the market and all I sed was: "There is dead pixel". No one even wanted to see it. The guy sad: "Ooo, it`s normal for Samsung" and gave me another one brand new. I was like this:eek: because this behaviour and returning policy is not normal in my country.
