How to check dead pixels on RMBP?

[blueteeth]

Hi there,

How do you guys check for dead pixels on RMBP? Is there any software that you recommend?

Thanks!

Look at the screen, if you don't see any then you don't have any.

Very useful...

The best way is to take a solid color, I prefer white and set it as your wallpaper. This will make it easier to see any dead pixels since your looking at one colour rather then a variance of colours.

In full-screen mode use each of the colored backgrounds to check for dead/stuck pixels. Using only one color is next to useless because a pixel stuck on red will not show on a red background, a white one will not show on white (etc).

With a Retina screen you may need to use a magnifying glass.

That's a neat tool. Thanks for sharing.

Keep in mind that Apple may not be too willing to replace for a defect that requires a magnifying glass to notice.

You could always say you weren't satisfied with the product and return it

I use that LCD Test website and then take a picture of the screen with my digital camera on each background. Then I zoom in and verify that there are no dead pixels on each colored background.
