did you even try to get it replaced?!?

it is unfortunate but it is quality deviation which can't be removed completely unless you (and all the others) have 6000 eur to spend to the device....

did you have the same problem?

if yes you ll think like i think

if not... i was talking to the others... i spend 600 euros and it has to work great! people class action. i am tired to spend for horribles pieces of glasses

just cool down, I didn't understand anything from the last paragraph.....

My spot is thankfully mostly in the window titlebar area so it only gets annoying in full screen mode.

Normal LCDs are not intended to be used under 0C. actually it's said that under -5C they should stop working.

I've got them too - they were they the day I got it.

Re: Bright spot or spots on display / LCD

guys, this is not always nokias fault. I would probably say the same thing as but, but recently, my job has forced me to learn more about reliability.
Nokia doesn't make the parts, they mostly assemble it. They order it from suppliers. The supplier then guarantees the screen with a failure rate of .4% and a n of 50000 (this is purely hypothetical). Nokia can't test those devices as their normal running time is 24h/day. So there's no accelerated test to be performed to see how the screen performs after 3-4-5-months.
The usb part was their fault, but this one, no.
Nokia should change your device without any discussions since all the costs will be payed by the display manufacturer or his insurance, but Nokia should really think about changing that supplier since it's bad publicity.

All the companies do the same, choose the one that it's the cheapest, but has the characteristics fitting their requirements.
trust me they don't want this, it costs them more money to change your product after sale then changing it in the factory, which cost more than changing it at the supplier.
