Is there something special with the red one comparing to other colors?

hi, so anyone who still have XZ with stuck/dead pixel still live with it here?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkMRL:
On my first one I had a fully dead pixel and a bright pixel (which still managed to display black though, not sure what was up with that pixel). I took it back to the store and they took it in and gave me a new one, they also allowed me to check it out before buying. Unfortunately they didn't have any more black units so I bought a white one, which is probably even more beautiful but I feel like white is girly, but maybe I'm just being stupid. I would say that black is really stilish and classy, and white is flashier and prettier. It looks good in the black window cover I got (the one with NFC, which isn't really worth the money though imo). The pixels are so small they're almost impossible to notice unless you're really picky like I am. I can't stand them.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
i guess this is why being an early adopter is bad..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
Yeah you pay €700 to buy a smartphone with up to two dead pixels and this considered normal! :silly:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N3w_Typ3:
Mine too.

I did not know that the Sony XZ has an auto Pixel corrector inbuilt.

I happened to spot it during the first few second of the boot up.

Once the phone is booted up, under all the colours, cannot see that issue.. :eek:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Whats auto pixel corrector?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Ok So I just went in CPW to pick my 4th XZ and it had 5 dead/bright pixels!

Gotta go back in Thursday.

More people must have pixel problems!

Starting to think its going to be impossible to get a 'dead pixel free' unit.

So depressed. Even their display unit had a dead pixel. :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kannanX10:
sony has this dead pixels problem from x10 days itself........never got any sony handsets such as x10(opened 7 devices),arc,arc s and XS without any stuckpixels at first/intial purchase.............i think sony's display vendor is poor and have low quality standards
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Thanks for your response. CPW gets a new batch tomorrow so gotta go back in.

Which device are you using?

This dead pixel problem is making me lean more towards the HTC One. Gutted about Sony though.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
OMG you re terrifying me!! :crying:

I'm gonna get mine tomorrow I wish to have a dead-pixel free unit!!! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
It seems to be an imminent problem. Today was my 4th XZ. I didnt leave the store with it. The CPW manager is getting the Sony Rep to go in and take a look.

Im 99% sure my next one will have defective pixels. The one today had 5-6 defective pixels.

To test your device set brightness to 100% & uncheck adaptive lighting. Then use a full screen black image. They are easier to spot in a darker environment, infact they turn obvious. Instead of using an image you can also use sony service menu (*#*#77378423#*#*).

Im devasted.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
The test puts the screen in maximum brightness no matter what options u use! We count 2.073.600 pixels on this screen so the possibilities of getting dead pixels are much more than any other screen! :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
As stated before. Sony has admitted (apparently) to using a cleaper panel in the Z. Cheaper means less quality and quality control issues.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rttnpig]:
My first Z came with a white pixel on the middle of the screen. Returned it and the second one had another white pixel on the botom, where the menu is.

The menu is on the way so hardly can see it.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robiceli:
This explains why the V has a better contrast and better viewing angles compared to the Z. I know the Z is better in every other aspect but in the screen department, from what I saw in other video reviews and pictures, V seems to take the win.

Seems to me they used the same panel for the Z like they had for T/TX.

Yep, dead pixel here. Going back to Amazon for replacement, but after seeing this, not holding out too much hope! I love the phone but all the little issues (lens flare on camera is terrible) are starting to add up to a refund!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
Lens are on camera??? What do u mean by that?? :confused:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e7t3:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
My last 3 phones have been Samsung. Plastic turd, though specs are good ect.

The HTC camera can't be that bad, this is basically there last straw so they have to get it right.

Absolutely love the XZ though, that design!!!! Dead pixels, meh.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Any dead pixels? Im going to CPW tomorrow as they got a whole new batch in today. If they have dead pixels I'm gonna get the HTC One. I even ordered a a Sony btv5 wireless speaker. Good thing it will work with the HTC.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Hmm, Sony has really skimped on these screen. They're obviously mass produced cheaply. :(

Are you sure they weren't there out of the box and you've just noticed?

Any chance you could post a photo of these pixels in a line?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigarpatel22:
I am yet to buy my "Z", however I have one question.

if display has one or two dead pixel, can we go to sony service center to claim warranty, either repair display ( in this case change ) or exchange phone 1 to 1 ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
I think its 2 or more before Sony will entertain warranty repair/replacement.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
Yes I'm pretty sure I triple checked the screen!! They appeared after 6-7 hours of use!! I've tried some apps to correct em but they seem to be totally dead and not just stuck!!! :mad:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Gutted for ya. What are you gonna do?

I've gotta go and collect my 5th Z today. If it has pixels problems then I'm done with Sony (Z is my first Sony phone, and possibly last).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
I really don't know what to do! I love the phone but I can't live with those nasty pixels! The mystery here is that they appear after some hours of use and not immediately! I gotta send it back but I'm afraid that the replacement will not help! I also just noticed that it might be a little piece of dust or something! :confused: :rolleyes:

Hope you're more lucky this time with your 5th one.

Make sure you let us know how you get on.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
For a £500 phone its unacceptable. Simple. I think the HTC One is gonna have better quality control in the display department.

Goodness, thinking to order when the pre-order coming next week as Xperia Z and ZL will release on 15March in Malaysia.

Now this thread had me back to order one Xperia Z.

Will the few deadpixel making the whole display look bad or like damaged/broken?? :confused:

Can someone post some photos of the Deadpixel so for those gonna buy can have a mindset.

Thank you. :highfive:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
if you got one pixel it's ok, it's barely visible because they are very small, but it seems after the poll that I made that more or less the 85% of the devices are ok, so just pray to your lord :silly:

I`ve sent my XZ to service, so they said that they will get me new XZ (had 4-5 dead pixels). Now, I would like to ask you guys who changed phone, did they replace you only phone it self, or complete package (headphones, charger, box,...)? As they told me, they will replace only phone it self and that it will come from factory, so I need to wait 2 weeks. It is really strange and I am afraid that they will give me some used XZ.

From my experience and knowledge you will receive a refurbished phone, looks brand new, no accessories as you should've kept those, if you sent them maybe you'll get them back. I sent in my phone for a different problem, the unit returned to me had 1 dead pixel..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamtan:
this works, but some pixel may take longer than some.

Some even overnight, but just face down the screen while charging overnight.

I had one stuck pixel, used this for a couple of hours and its good.

BTW dont waste your time and effort going to the service centre for stuck pixel since you can fix it yourself.

2) Which app did you use and what better?
