Pixels Gone Bad!
I was recently cleaning my Princeton VL2018W and noticed that two of the pixels have gone out (bad/dead). One of them is black and the other is blue. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem. I have already e-mailed Princeton and they said there is nothing I can do.

Cross your fingers ... Say a prayer ...
And using a soft cloth ... Gently push on the bad pixels.

There's a chance that pushing on it will fix it ...

If you live in the UK you would be able to invoke your statutory rights as a citizen and demand a replacement for a defective product or take them to court.

One of the VERY few advantages of being a UK citizen - as they are slowly eroding most of our rights.

I love the line...

Be prepared to suffer a complete loss; you may crack the glass when tapping or putting pressure on an LCD assembly.
