I sold my old monitor on ebay, Samsung flat screen 19". It has 1 dead pixel. I didn't mention the dead pixel, it's always had it since new. The condition was as new. 1 dead px surely isn't a big deal, is it? And I know manufacturers say 1 is acceptable. So the guy that bought it has filed a paypal claim against me. He says the monitor is defective due the the DP. He claims to have OCD and this DP is really making him hypo ventilate! Just thought I'd let you know. Please tell me I'm right and he's wrong, or I might hypo ventilate!
Cheers

Hmm, you should've mentioned it, but I think the industry standards for dead pixels allow for up to 3 (as long as they're not clustered), so a second-hand sale should be even more forgiving.
I'd've presumed he would be able to ask you directly for a return and refund before contacting paypal - was that the case? if so - how did you respond?

sounds like it's the same guy suing those korean peeps for like 100 million over the pair of pants.

What Nairn said.
I once filed a complaint against someone who didn't ship their item to me for months, even though it was supposed to reach my house within two weeks. So I emailed them about 5 times first. And then I got to the complaint. About two days after I filed it, the item was shipped to me and I cancelled the complaint at Paypal.
He would've tried to contact you first, right?

sure, he did and I said that the monitor was fine even though having 1 DP. I also said that if I had OCD and knew a DP would aggravate it I would have checked that it had none before buying it. I think one would assume a TFT would have DPs even if new, I think it's rare for a low budget monitor to have 100% live? So I told him to sell it if it makes him hypo and not bother me again! A little politer than that though.

Honestly - even if its 'used'... I would be fine w/the monitor if the back or frame was scraped or dinged...
... but if I lose ANY quality on screen... pfftt..
... return to sender.

give him 1 penny back.
- Atkinson0
1p is well too much, that'd make the monitor worth something like the same as the 1000000$ pixel kid!

return the money and get your monitor back, then sue the bastard if you find a pixel-sized scratch on it.

thing is it cost £11 to post, which I'll have to return. I'll also have to pay for return postage, £11. So that 22 down already! Arse.
