I got the second Samsung 770 TFT (17-inch flat panel display) for the Blogging Workstation yesterday afternoon. I installed it and found that it had quite a few dead pixels. This was not supposed to happen, since the 770 TFT was supposed to have been reconditioned by Samsung to its original specification.
I had confirmed the specification in advance in an effort to save time. There were supposed to be no more than three dead pixels on the entire display. On the reconditioned 770 TFT I received, there were more than three areas where multiple dead pixels could be found.
I have a call into the reseller to see how they want to proceed. This sets my work back a few days, but it doesn’t make sense for me to get frustrated.
