LCD monitor question

[insomnia]

Hello I just bought a 226bw samsung 22" LCD off Newegg. Once I hooked it all up I noticed that there was a blue line runing top to bottom on the right side of the screen. Could it be dead pixels? If so then theres nothing I can do but send it back for a replacement?

Does the line show up regardless of what is displayed on the screen? Sounds like these are actually "stuck" pixels, technically not "dead". You should still be eligible for a return/replacement from Newegg as they have an 8 dead pixel policy (you have to have at least 8 dead/stuck pixels). You can read more about their return policy HERE...

LCD Display Return Policy

* Return for refund within: non-refundable
* Return for replacement within: 30 days
* There must be a minimum of 8 dead pixels to declare an LCD display defective and eligible for return.

Newegg.com sells many products such as Notebooks and Monitors that feature LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screens. Newegg.com adheres to the dead-pixel policy that is observed by the majority of our manufacturers. In order to declare any product with an LCD screen "defective" and eligible for replacement or refund through any applicable Newegg.com Return Policy, there must be a minimum of 8 (eight) dead LCD pixels.

Yes it shows up all the time.. Never goes away.

So I guess I have to RMA it.
