I noticed something odd with one of my computer monitors today as this red dot just kind of stood out like a sore pimple on the screen. At first I thought it just had to do with bad image quality as I couldn\u2019t see it all the time when I visited different pages and programs. However, upon further inspection it would seem that it was indeed a dead pixel that was very noticeable on a black background.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t too surprised as I have had this monitor for years and so these types of things are expected after a while. It then got me debating if replacing an entire monitor because of this minor detail is justifiable. Again, it is only noticeable on a pitch black background. For many people they would replace it in a heartbeat. I tend to want to use things until they become extremely unusable or if not replacing it would actually cost me more time and money. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m inclined to just tolerate this at the moment. I was thinking of upgrading anyhow to increase productivity. However, I was still waiting for a good deal as what I have is manageable. This of course just increases the incentive to upgrade if I saw a really good deal. But as a reason alone to upgrade I don\u2019t think it\u2019s enough to justify spending so much money for a replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
