What type of monitor are we talking about here? You never say. What is
the minimum number of failed pixels covered by replacement under
warrenty? CRT's don't *have* that problem BTW. Never have and never
will.

Dell. A $64 monitor. About 1/6th what I'd pay for a monitor. Check it with
different single colour backgrounds. Pure red, pure blue and pure green.
Then try white.

I extremely doubt they'll think of replacing it with less than 5 bad pixels.

You should not view the world in terms

rather, you should view the world in terms
of how things "actually are", recognizing
and finding acceptance of them as such.

This would immeasurably bring *much* more
