[QUOTE=Brt5470;32418433]This replacement monitor has three stuck green pixels. [img]http://puu.sh/5WzL[/img][/QUOTE] It's from watching children's cartoons.
I didn't even watch any ponies on this monitor. First thing I did was put up a black screen to see it.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;32418433]This replacement monitor has three stuck green pixels.[/QUOTE] I would have thought Dell would put a little more quality control on their 1500$ monitors...

It new what was coming and chose to damage itself to be sent back to China to be trashed. Other than that, shit sucks getting a replacement with dead pixels
Me too. Atleast it's one business day shipping on their dollar. It's a pain to pack it up again though. Glad I recorded 2 unboxings to make sure I know how.

These don't turn off, they stay on so on dark scenes the fixation principle seems to kick in and I can't focus on the movie, game, scene, etc.

God damn our postal system sucks, it took something like 4 days to get a package from this coast to the other by plane :v:

Wednesday delivery. [editline]21st September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Goz3rr;32412551]Wow, that things uses 180w, my screen uses 3w...[/QUOTE] Also I HIGHLY doubt your monitor uses 3watts unless it's a cellphone. 3W idle probably.
[QUOTE=Bonzai11;32418448]It's from watching children's cartoons.[/QUOTE] hey guys let's start this seems like a good idea huh
SUBJECT CHANGE! Hey Gman, I've been wondering what that thing is that your avatar keeps flashing to for a split second so I finally stuck it in GIMP to see what it was... [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22706967/whatisthisthing.png[/img] The hell is this and why is it there if I may inquire

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;32417241]Jeopardy question today: (I forget the exact question, so bear with me.) "This operating system, started in 1991, was founded by Linus Torvalds." Contestant 1: "What is binary?" "Incorrect." Conestant 2: "What is LIE-nux?" "That is correct."[/QUOTE]it's actually "lee-nux" but people (especially americans) assume Linus is pronounced the English way (lie-nus) instead of the finnish way (lee-nus) a lot of people pronounce it lin-ux which makes absolutely no sense other than that is how it would be pronounced if it were an American English word.
[QUOTE=lavacano;32416421]Holy flying fuck the monitors on the new computers in our school district are wide. Like, [b]wiiiiide[/b]. I think their aspect ratio is somewhere around 16:6. Also, they all came with Windows 7, but of course the school district put XP on all of them :suicide: But with that comes content: They left the stickers with the Win7 keys on them alone. Didn't cross the keys out with Sharpie, didn't remove them, just left them there. Meaning some kid with a brain and an inferior version can just take a sticker home and TADA INSTANT WIN7.[/QUOTE] i did that once

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;32419193]Our Dell Optiflex 380s have the win 7 pro stickers on them.... I want to steal.... but I know i shouldn't rip the school that actually puts XP 32bit on a machine that has 4GB of ram :smith:[/QUOTE] take it holy fuck

Update, found 2 more stuck pixels. This is fun.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;32418156]Alright, this is now officially BULLSHIT: Pressing the "Abort Compile" button in CodeBlocks causes an instant and unavoidable bluescreen. How the fuck is that even possible anymore? Yeah, on Windows 98 or something, I can understand, but how does a simple "kill the gcc process" cause the thing to not just crash, but take down the entire OS?[/QUOTE] Works perfectly for me. Never had a problem with Code::Blocks, let alone something that serious.
[QUOTE=BlkDucky;32419321]Works perfectly for me. Never had a problem with Code::Blocks, let alone something that serious.[/QUOTE] Maybe it's just a Vista bug or something then. [editline]21st September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;32419329]What the fuck? You're are now watching each episode of bleach.[/QUOTE] Make me.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;32419293]Update, found 2 more stuck pixels. This is fun.[/QUOTE] wtf?
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;32419329]What the fuck? You're are now watching each episode of bleach.[/QUOTE] Bleach is one of many "mainstream" anime that gives every anime ever made the whole "only for weeaboos" thing they seem to have. Edit: Opinions etc. etc.
[QUOTE=Odellus;32419350]wtf?[/QUOTE] They are fainter than the others, and I probably wouldn't notice, but they definitely aren't black.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;32419393]Right. Where the fuck do you live. I'm bringing my collection. This includes every bleach episode apart from the last 3(scratched DVDs), Popcorn, several cans of your finest beer and maybe some whiskey if the beer is not enough.[/QUOTE] Look, the list of "movies I need to watch/animes I need to watch/books I need to read/games I need to play" is about 20,000 entries long. Seriously - it's been added to the list, I'll get to it in a few years.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;32419442]Is Deathnote there? Cause it should be.[/QUOTE] I think it's in there, right between reading "Dune" and watching "The Guns of Navarone". SERIOUSLY - IT'S A BIG FUCKING LIST.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;32419419]RMA[/QUOTE] Obviously. I'll be calling tomorrow. Hopefully the third one is to my satisfaction. They told me the shipping info is in the box for the new one, except I can't find anything.
So I made $50 fixing someone's 5 year old HP with Vista. I ran a Malwarebytes scan and it found 78 items. When I had MSE installed, it found another 10-12. CCleaner removed about 2 GB of crap and I left Defraggler running since their hard drive had 50% fragmentation. And that was just the software. The dual core CPU would be hitting 86°C with the fan on 100% even after I dusted the bastard out. I didn't bring any thermal paste with me, so I couldn't try cleaning the old stuff off. I can't imagine the airflow is great, since the only fans were the CPU fan and the PSU fan.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;32419568]I've only got 50 things. :v: [editline]22nd September 2011[/editline] Wait third one?[/QUOTE] This current one is a replacement.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/IMG_8929.jpg[/img] $3000 dollars right there.
They don't fix it, they just send me another one, but I obviously have to send the old one back.
