Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the quality-returns dept.

Kez writes "A result for the consumer as Samsung declares any TFT that they sell from today onwards should be guaranteed dead pixel free. Until now, purchasing a TFT has been a gamble, given that dead pixels, while extremely annoying, did not necessarily entitle the consumer to a replacement monitor. Unfortunately, anybody who bought a Samsung TFT before today is not covered by the new policy." Update: 01/01 19:49 GMT by M : The new policy only applies in S. Korea. Suck.

    I didn't RTFA, but does this guarantee extend to all authorized retailers? Also, does this cover already manufactured models which are in stock as of today?
