walking dead pixel lenovo t60

Hi,

Just few days after my new lenovo arrived I experienced first dead
pixel on its display. I thought it's dead, but... a few minutes later
he moved to a completely different location. Huh...

Now I've found a simple correlation: when such pixel appears, I can
click middle button of trackpoint and it disappears. Anyone experienced
something similar?

Btw. I am completely not happy with the display - no matter if I choose
16bit or 32bit colors - areas of plain color are dithered (visible
mostly at acute angle - e.g. from the bottom).

It is 14" 1400x1050 and ATI X1400 video adapter.

Filip

I have a 3 year old R40 and it does the same thing. The culprit is the
UltraNav software for the trackpad. You think they would have fixed it
by now. You can probably find references to this issue on Google or on
the Thinkpad newsgroup.

Take the opportunity to demand a refund and buy a machine from a
different manufacturer. Lenovo is never going to be IBM.

I've tried several different brands and each one has some problems. So
far I think Lenovo is the best, but also not free of crap.

I never owned an IBM laptop, but I have Epson, Sharp, Toshiba, Compaq,
and Gateway and I have never seen anything like that at all.
