-- Pixel Burn? (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=3098)

I recently noticed what at first appeared to be a small speck of dust trapped underneath my VDX screen... but the more I look at it, the more it appears that it might actually be a pixel burned onto the screen. Can anyone confirm that that might actually be what it is, and how that might have happened? Anyone else experience the same thing?

On my old unit I need to send back for reasons not related to pixels, there's an area of the screen that has a slightly darker tint to it. It's not a full pixel, rather a small patch is darker than the rest, but slightly.

After seeing that, I'm glad I decided to get a replacement.

It's possible for pixels to be dead. Fairly rare though on grey scale devices.

You can't "burn" an LCD pixel as you can on a CRT monitor. As dequardo mentioned, it's most likely a 'dead' pixel that isn't "flipping". This is pretty common on a lot of laptop screens. Call up Handspring and see what they say.
