Do you have any dead-pixel on your iBook?

Do you have any dead-pixel on your iBook? After carefully inspecting of mine, I'm happy to say, I have none. :biohazard

I had one (1) on a new ibook G4 1.2 I used to own. It was very near the bottom and hard to notice unless you were looking for it. None on my 15" PB.

none. praise the apple gods!

none on my 17" Inch Powerbook, or my Clamshell iBook

with the beating that i have given my iBook, i have none.

I had 5 but Apple replaced the whole screen ...free! I suggest you guys try this to see if you have any
Pixel checker

The genius bar guy downloaded it for me at the apple store Works great. Surprisecd the heck out of me

I used the Pixel checker to check the screen again, wow, I don't have a single one pixel indeed. That's awesome.

one on red, one on green, on on black and white =( dumb!! but blue is great..

imac+ibook+PB= 0 dead pixels... makes me happy

is it true that a screen which remains static is more likely to have dead pixels?...
and that's why we have screensavers.....?

not a single one on my ibook

Screensavers were important with CRT displays, because a static image could get "burned" onto the display. LCD screens don't have this happen, so screensavers don't serve much of a purpose

Actually, screensavers have not really served their intended purpose for quite a few years now...even on CRT's. No monitor of any type put out in the last 6-7 years or so, has had the need for a screensaver. In fact, some screensavers can do more damage than good these days. What I mean is that some of the highly graphic intense ones, can to an extent, overwork the display and cause it to (for lack of a better term) have a shorter life span. At the very least, it will use more energy to run a complex screensaver than it would to simply dim the display or turn the monitor off.

i have one. would apple fix it? its annoying.

I'm sure they would, but if your warranty is over, it will be expensive

finally some proof that screensavers are superfluous.
