Sound Devices 633 LCD Screen Stuck pixel/Dead pixel?

Recommended Posts

hello,

So I just received my sound devices 633 and it is amazing! But when I was playing around with it I noticed that there are two tiny tiny pixels which are bright in colour when background is black. I did some research and found out that they were stuck pixels and atm I dont know if I should send it back to the shop which will probably take a week before they can send another one back to me if they approve that its a stuck pixel etc. Should I just keep it or get a new one? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a photo of it. The other pixel is so small the camera cant even pick it up lol.

I remember when I bought my first LCD monitors for my first Mac over ten years ago now, I fired up the first one and was super disappointed that there were 6 dead pixels. I returned them to the store for new ones, and they too had dead pixels, though not as many. I was told then that it was "normal" and acceptable to have up to 15 dead pixels... Crazy now that I think about it

yes, mine has a stuck pixel too. top right hand corner. is only visible when i am in the menu windows.

i have decided to befriend it and not to fret, as long as it doesnt multiply over time.

 

still, had to send mine in for repair anyway because a trim knob kept getting stuck inside when pushed in.

 

Sound Devices quality control issues? i doubt it...  and hope not, long-term.

It's incredible how far technology has come in the last ten years. On our LCD monitors back then, we had to put up with dead pixels, and 15 was "normal." Pixel-perfect screens are what we want nowadays. Indeed, progress!
