Reparing LCD pressure marks
« on: Fri, 27 August 2010, 17:46:01 »
Alright, the T560 arrived today, but it came with pressure marks (sadly).

So I was massaging the spots with pressure marks, and running this:
http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php

So I'll see if it improves. The massaging definitely helped a fair bit. Although not many people can say "I massaged an IBM".

When used to display different things (text, graphics etc), nothing is notcieable, just with a dark blank screen (like a dark blue) are some pressure marks notcieable.

I still contacted the seller as I'm kind of ticked.

At least there's no dead/stuck pixels.

I don't really mind pressure marks. They aren't that big of a deal. I got a few ratty old Dell LCD's lying around and one's got a little pressure mark.

But if they bother you, there's another reason to use a CRT. The screens are much more durable than those of LCD's.

Well instead of pressure marks you can have chipped glass, scratches, or magnet damage.

I'll try to control my assburgers and accept that it isn't in 100% cosmetic condition.

Alright, that would suck.

I can't really cry over a $35 TFT. Although the shipping was more than that :/

I was commenting on that JScreenFix potential software fad.

If you like to take the risk of breaking even more pixels though, be my guest. Great if it worked for you.

It did reduce the pressure marks and help reset some of the liquid crystal.

And no, I personally don't think "JScreenFix" does anything. It's just a white screen.
