Dead pixels? Anyone?

If the above suggestions do not work, try holding it upside down above your head and giving it a few shakes, sometimes that dust just never settles back just right.

But seriously, I am worried what the screen will be like 3-4 years down the road. My original iPhone started to get a line of dead pixels a year after I had it, now there are two nice lines and spots. Thankfully I don't really read on it much, annoying in some games though.

My 60GB iPod Video (about 5 years old) just a few months ago started to get sime dead lines as well, and my mom's iPhone 3G got a few spots about a year after she had hers. Yet my iMac is flawless 4 years later.

Update, make that 2 dead pixels, oh did I mention it also turns itself off while browsing photos, called apple they gave me a fix but it didn't work. Going to see apple Wednesday not Thursday next week. Not Happy 😟

I just got my first iPhone and it has a big black dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. I bought it on eBay, so have mailed seller (no reply yet).

I phoned Apple Australia, and the guy said that 1 dead pixel in the middle of the screen is NOT acceptable, especially straight out of the box. He told me that if the seller does not get back to me in time then to contact Apple again and they will take 'further action'. I therefore do not think that anybody has to put up with this sort of issue: if somebody tells you just to put up with it then ignore them.

I think most products are not considered defective with just one or two dead or stuck pixels. However it also depends on their location.

How can I identify a dead pixel?

yeah first day and i just noticed that there was a pixel in the middle of my screen!!! should i take it back and get a new one?

If you have a stuck pixel, try this free app ipiexl from the app store and see if it fixes it. Set the app size to 2x.

I have just noticed i have 1 dead pixel on my iPad which I brought on 28th of march 2010, going to see apple next thursday.
