Dead pixels?

Posted Nov 30, 2006 at 9:34PM EST by QJ Staff

Just in case you don't know (but we're guessing most of you do know this by now, unless you're mutated or something), stuck pixels or dead pixels, occur commonly in LCD products and can at times cure themselves when they just happen to fire or cycle properly. They will usually show themselves as white, black, red or blue irregularities.

So yeah, most of you guys probably ran into dead pixel problems on your PSP. Apparently, not even PSP billboards are safe from dead pixels. Check out the vid below

Oh, and just in case you feel saying something, no, this isn't news. The vid is just sort of amusing, that's all. Tagged under off-topic and videos.

I was pissed when I first noticed the dead pixels on my PSP, but I don't even notice them while in a game anyways, so no biggie.

That video is slightly amusing.

# Is this Dead or Stuck Pixels — Guest 2006-11-30 22:54

Hi guys,

My psp seems to have developed dark areas on the screen at the bottom and top of the lcd. it doesn't show on light but when the screen is dark you can see that the black is not black in those area's it's a kinda grey.

as this is not the normal dead, stuck pixel issue I was wondering if anyone else experienced issue like this?

NeoN HaZe.

# Wow — Shyez 2006-11-30 22:57

That is some major dead/stuck pixels on that huge PSP. See? Some other PSP's LCD Screens are much worse than you people so no need worrying about it so much lol. But I do understand that its frustating seeing dead/stuck pixels on LCD's.

# Let's see — Shyez 2006-11-30 23:01

If you're saying that the top and bottom of your LCD in your PSP is a bit lighter when the screen is dark and the PSP is still on then I think that's normal. I have that too if we're on the same page.

# blah — Guest 2006-11-30 23:09

I can't believe their are two stuck red pixels on that billboard. Omg I want to tear my eyes out right now.

# dfg — Guest 2006-11-30 23:30

Man, I tried squishing the screen to undo stuck pixels and I think I either scratched the screen or cracked it or something, it's got a nasty line in the top left corner (only bad when light colours in that region). But what is most annoying is that more and more dead pixels seem to pop up on the damn thing- I mean, the two i got to start with were fine, I didn't care, but *****, when more appear, that is just not cool.

# my son — Guest 2006-12-01 00:07

has had his psp for 14 months now and uses it every single day and no stuck pixels.....

# Off Topic Request — Guest 2006-12-01 00:31

To QJ authors and moderators:

Please don't use videos that automatically start. I find it annoying when I load up my tab-set of news pages and one or more make noise as soon as they load. I have to flip through all my tabs trying to find them. (Especially annoying when at work. Hard to pretend to work when computer is mixing odd sounds with the playing music.)

# Those arent dead pixels... — RaiderX 2006-12-01 00:36

You mean those big red dots? Those are way tooo big to be dead pixels.. >_> and I doubt the screen would have huge clusters of dead pixels like that. They look much more like the reflection of street lights or something of the sort. I mean, in the video, you see red street lights and car lights all over. Those can't be dead/stuck pixels

# Seriously... — Guest 2006-12-01 00:47

I feel sick after watching that.

# pressure — Guest 2006-12-01 01:04

That sounds like pressure on the screen.

# ditto — Guest 2006-12-01 01:05

I was wondering where the horn sounds were coming from.

# BEEEEEEEEEEEEP! !!! — Mentality 2006-12-01 01:22

Those guys need to chill with the horns, OK OK YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

Anyway that video is hilarious, really does the PSP no justice though.

# Very true — akuma2099 2006-12-01 01:24

I don't need my web page honking and making all kinds of noises when I load it. If I want to watch the video I will click play.

# One more thing. — Mentality 2006-12-01 01:24

I'd hate to be the giy to change the disk in that PSP lmao. Thats one big Bas***d PSP

# Doubts — Guest 2006-12-01 01:25

Im not sure that that huge screen would even use LCD and I am sure that from that distance individual pixles would be invisible.

# Me too — lakers49_sf 2006-12-01 01:29

Yeah, when i was listening to music i heard horn sounds and i thought it was someone outside. I could'nt find where it was coming from until i refreshed the page.

# Noisy — Guest 2006-12-01 01:39

Freaking noisy! Everyone is slamming away at their horns to notice Sony's ads. Ian C., this auto-playing entry is done in very bad taste.

# deads — Guest 2006-12-01 02:06

Four dead whites on mine which dont bother me one bit, Ive even forgot were they are.

# noise — Guest 2006-12-01 02:07

Every time you auto play a video, God kills a kitten.

Please, think of the kittens

# Not dead — Guest 2006-12-01 02:31

It is the reflection of the steet lamps on the billboard :)

# they arent dead — Guest 2006-12-01 02:53

yeah at the end of the video if you notice all the way to the right bottom corner you see 2 red lights that are probably just being reflected off the PSP screen.

# exactly — Guest 2006-12-01 02:55

exactly

# ... — Gawd 2006-12-01 03:36

Those are two red lights being reflected in the screen. This isn't news. This isn't relevant to anything or anyone.

And videos that start automatically are the work of the devil.

# _ — Guest 2006-12-01 03:48

so right ! everything that do something without you actually asking for it is PURE EVIL !!! especially on a webpage

# ??? — Guest 2006-12-01 03:59

if you see below the psp you can see a nintendo logo

# christ — Guest 2006-12-01 04:03

you guys are morons. those are just reflections of red lights on the screen.

# no please — Guest 2006-12-01 04:36

no autoplay videos please

# jaminkle — Guest 2006-12-01 04:46

is sony even trying anymore?

# ......... — Guest 2006-12-01 04:49

EVEN MORE SONY CRAP TO CLUTTER UP THE WORLD

Sony, start making quality products...nm its too late

Your company is going to the dawgs.

# EVERYONE SHUT THE *****ING ***** UP!!! — Guest 2006-12-01 05:10

THEY'RE NOT DEAD PIXELS, THEY'RE THE 2 LIGHTS ON THE STREET! AT THE END WHEN HE ZOOMS OUT YOU CAN SEE THEM ALL IN THE SAME POSITION AS ON THE SCREEN. SO PLEASE SHUT THE ***** UP ABOUT SONY, THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT.

# gah — Guest 2006-12-01 05:12

it's quite annoying to have a movie auto-start on a website guys for future reference

# actually... — Guest 2006-12-01 06:01

I think it's the company who owns the billboard... like around here it's all Pattison

it's advertising for the billboard underneath the advertising ON the billboard.

# blacklight — Guest 2006-12-01 06:22

get a new blacklight for the screen there dead easy to install

# ano — Guest 2006-12-01 06:24

ano its probly sum kids with a big lazer pen

# goodnight? — Guest 2006-12-01 06:27

goodnight? its half 5 for fu*k sake!! aww well its past your bed time anyway

# BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! — rexray 2006-12-01 06:51

Would someone please turn off the autoplay on this video?! Why did the originator even include the sound? It's the same 2 cars honking over and over and over and over and over. Forever!

thanks. :)

# BEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEP! — Dave 2006-12-01 07:04

DAMN, stop the *****ing auto play of this video!!!!!!!

Was the kid standing in the road filming or do americans like to beep there horns?

# Seriously! — Guest 2006-12-01 07:37

# AUTOPLAY? — Illegal Machine 2006-12-01 07:46

I really love it when my dog starts barking at 4:30 am because he hears car horns out of nowhere.

no more autoplay videos please.

totally RUDE.. and who cares about this ad having dead pixels?

# loud honking cars and stupid billboard — Guest 2006-12-01 09:33

first, auto-playing videos suck. second, loud honking cars? I would rather have been presented with a "punch the retarded poster in the face and win a free car" pop up. Finally nobody cares about a big retarded billboard. I'm super cereal.

# not stuck pixles — Guest 2006-12-01 09:35

I have also seen this billboard, they are not dead pixles but reflections from the street lights...

~dan

# re: no please — Guest 2006-12-01 09:48

I agree.. no autoplay videos

# Godamn it!! — Guest 2006-12-01 09:54

those fucI{ing honking are soooooooo annoying!!

# go look at a jumbo tron — Guest 2006-12-01 10:20

havent you guys ever been to a *****ing hockey arena or a football or baseball stadium??? the jumbo trons always get like that after a while. Its like dead pixels for jumbo trons. Get off your damn computer and go to a baseball game. damn

# UP — Guest 2006-12-01 11:31

SOMEONE MAKE AN UPDATE SO THIS THING IS GONE BECAUSE THIS AUTO PLAY VIDEO IS MAKING ME WANT TO PUNCH A BABY.

# AAAAAAARGH!!! — Guest 2006-12-01 11:58

JESUS!! that is fookin annoying!!!

Can you fix this please, or at least post some more news so it ends up on the second page.

# auto-play videos - horrible — iamthekiller 2006-12-01 12:05

god damnit, seriously. who the hell has a video auto-play on the page load?

# Why the hell is there even SOUND? — Guest 2006-12-01 12:09

The billboard doesn't make any sound, the video should be silent. This is the stupidest thing that's ever been posted here, I'm getting my PSP news elsewhere from now on

# what? — Guest 2006-12-01 12:24

There's no autoplay for me...

It says Click To Start.

As for anyone flipping out, or typing in all caps: It's a joke, we're aware that it's not actually a giant PSP with giant dead pixels. In other news, the giant donut on the local donut shop sign isn't real either. I could care less either way, as there are at least 2 dead sprinkles.

# ... — Guest 2006-12-01 12:59

wtf was that. wat a total waste of my time. q

# argg — Guest 2006-12-01 13:26

i knowwwwwwww hahaha, post 1 more article to get this trash bumped qj!

# Quadruple ditto!? — Guest 2006-12-01 13:28

I agree. Video should not autostart. You wouldn't want to lose a visitor that checks your site all the time because his boss caught him hiding a tab that says pspupdates. Could you guys imagine if it was a trailer to DOAX2? I'd be toast.

# Autoplay — Guest 2006-12-01 13:28

This thing autoplaying is annoying

# rofl — anonymous stranger 2006-12-01 13:50

what makes it funny is the dumbasses in the background hunking their horn

# rofl — anonymous stranger 2006-12-01 13:54

hahaha we just overdone it, thanks to me everyone has all stars now

# -_- — Guest 2006-12-01 14:03

I really did not apreciate the autoplay of the video

as i had my speakers ramped right up as i had been listening to some LOW music on my pc earlier.

I nearly died ffs, to go from total peace and quiet to half a dozen cars horns, especially when i was not expecting them, does bad things to an old mans heart, Oh btw could i have sued, if i had actualy fallen from my chair like i nearly did -_-

SO QUITE IT

# think — Guest 2006-12-01 14:24

u think were all from the same side of the world?

# get a xtender screen — Guest 2006-12-01 15:53

You should get a team xtender screen, it got a great iso-420 review

http://iso420.com/psp/screen/index.htm

I hope one of those is clickibe

# lolburger — Guest 2006-12-01 15:55

imangine the load times,

lol

# lolburger — Guest 2006-12-01 15:57

I live here,

they do lol

# well — Guest 2006-12-01 17:22

just adding to the chain

# Backlight washout — SpankyMCnoodle 2006-12-01 17:24

The washout efffect you see is normal. You probably didn't notice it before is all. Getting a new backlight won't fix the problem. All LCD's need backlight and have this issue. Usually only noticable when screen is on showing black. I wish sony would have made the psp with OLED display. OLED looks awesome and needs no backlight, plus it is fully visible in bright light, and uses less power. I'm hopeing for a OLED screen mod. That would be a worth while mod.

# He is lucky — SpankyMCnoodle 2006-12-01 17:28

I have 2 psps'. One has 3 stuck pixels(white) on the lower left. The other one I bought more recent has no stuck/Dead Pixels. Your lucky if you got no dead pixels. Of coarse they can be just hard to see. Mine are only visible when screen is all black with backlight on.

# Large screen — SpankyMCnoodle 2006-12-01 17:31

I'm sure that screen is not an LCD display. You know how much that would cost? If that was a 200" LCD I'm going to Gank it tonight. It is a collection of larger LEDs. And yes some of the LED ligts seem to be stuck on red. Either that or it is someone with 3 bright red laser pointers.

# funny — §åggåR 2006-12-01 17:37

ive had my psp since march of 2004 and still havent had any dead pixels,even if i get them, there is a dead pixel remover on this site somewhere

# ... — Guest 2006-12-01 17:41

HAH! Could you imagine? a Dead pixel THAT huge on your PSP. frick. that Dead pixel IS the size of a PSP!

# YOU SILLY PEOPLE - — Guest 2006-12-02 03:43

IT WAS THE REFLECTION OF THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS!!! ONLY ONE PERSON REALIZED THAT BESIDES ME...

JEZUS, YOU DUMB *****ERS!!!!

LMAO @ YOU ALL (including 'pspupdates')

*shakes head in pity of everyones stupidity*

# ... — hyÂxis 2006-12-02 03:53

What a worthless post. Honestly, does anyone care about this ad having dead pixels? For God's sake, QJ...

# Those are NOT stuck pixels. Morons. — sennenragefanboy 2006-12-02 07:18

okay.

listen up you idiots. i originally posted this video on YOUTUBE.

I have posted TWO additional videos to prove that those are not reflections. Anyone who thinks those are reflections from street lights are stupid.

Proof here and here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVwdwrI0VP0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RtIi27D4QY

And here's the original link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReTLKAiZIps

Now watch it and weep...

Reflections? I don't think so.

Enjoy.

And PSPupdates.qj.net, thanks for putting MY vid up!!!

# if you have dead psp pixels.... — Guest 2006-12-02 13:33

I DONT THINK ITS FAIR CALLING PEOPLE STUPID FOR THINKING THEY WERE STUCK PIXELS, AS THEY PROBABLY ONLY SAW THE VID POSTED ON HERE...

AND BY THE LOOKS OF THAT VID ALONE, IT DOES LOOK ALOT LIKE REFLECTIONS...

BUT YEAH, SO THEY WERE STUCK!

WOW-*****ING-WEE!
