[Poll] Dead/stuck pixel(s) on your DS annoying?

[spidey]

So, before I place my order for a rather expensive machine (japanese DS) that will get no US support because of the japanese warranty, I wanted to know how many of you with stuck/dead pixel(s) are bothered by it and find it to interfere with your gameplay?

I planned to order it from Play-Asia and I asked them what their dead pixel policy was and I received a reply of "3 pixels are affected, in an area, occupying less than 25% of the screen".

it doesn't bother me at all.

I have no dead pixels for my DS. My PSP has an ungodly number, but they don't bother me at all.

I've never really looked. Are the dead pixels on a DS really obvious?

 

[Rocko]

No one I personally know that has a DS has any dead or stuck pixels, but if it really bothers you that much, why not buy a DS from the US?

 

[irrossistable]

None on mine. I don't see why you're paying $20 extra for a DS. It HAS to be that awesome candy pink.

The graphite black and pure white DS's are mighty awesome. I would've payed 20 bucks extra for them.

My dead pixel is red and in the top-left area of the touch screen. It's only noticeable when the touch screen is black, which is never.

Search the forum someone posted a website that sold JAP DSs for 145 shipped. He actually got his on time (a pink DS for his wife). Then someone else ordered a white one and got his on time. I'd really would look for that thread.

Looks like I'm in the clear on buying a japanese DS. Thanks Sk for the headsup... I searched and found the thread about the $145 import DS.

Much better than the $150 + $20 ship Play-Asia wanted.

Cheers...

The first one I bought had a dead pixel on the Touch Screen. I exchanged it out, and the second had a dead pixel on the MAIN screen. I need to call up Nintendo and get it switched out, but I still haven't gotten around to it for some reason.

Mine has 2 stuck ones on the touch screen. Im sending it to Nintendo soon. I dont really notice them but doesnt hurt to exchange.
