LG LCD TV had dead pixels from day 1. Now 11 months old. Still under warranty?

[EDDIE M0NS00N]

Bought it end of Dec 09. Had dead pixel about 10cm from top & 20cm from left edge of top leftcorner, so its near the action on screen. Only visible when watching dark areas in films/games & appears as a clearly noticable red colour about just under 1mm in size up close but looks a lot bigger as it glows from further away.
I've tried rubbing it, but got nowt, so do you think its a bit cheeky to send it back to Currys for an exchange considering that the 1 yr warranty is almost up??

That's the whole point of the warranty! I had one pixel die on my 60" plasma, phoned LG up direct, they sent a guy out to have a look, and the whole panel was replaced a week later. Excellent service.

Why have you waited this long anyway?

[Lyris]

If anyone does cover you for those two dead pixels (which they'll deem "acceptable"), it'll be a gesture of goodwill. 11 months is a bit late though.

Sorry to hijack - I am having this exact problem now.

Image or sound cutting out over HDMI for 1-2 seconds. Happening daily.

Should I call in my 1 year warranty? TV is about 5 months old.

faulty HDMI lead or HDMI port?

I think it might be the ports. Happens on Blu Ray, PS3 and 360.

Got to get a new unit I assume?

There is no zero tolerance policy for dead pixels on a TV, so if anybody manages to get a panel replaced with just a few they're lucky, because the manufacturer is not obliged to do so.
