When i was going to buy my computer, I wanted to pay a little extra for an LCD screen, and the guy said If its for games I shouldnt buy it, because it sometimes cant handle the rapid colour changes. Same with LCD TV's.

LCD screens are video monitors. they're meant for whatever you want to put on em. They just have trouble keeping up with the refresh rate.
Thats not really an issue on handheld units tho. the smaller the screen the less you notice the refresh rate.
And has nothing to do with the dead pixel.

If i had bought it and had that, i'd certainly get a new one, i'd want nothing but perfection if i baught something new. now if i had it a couple years and a pixel died. i really wouldnt care.

Standards for dead pixels are way too loose right now. I'm looking on some websites cuz I really want to get one right now, and if their LCDs have 8 or less dead pixels, you can't return it. IMO, if it has any dead pixels, it is defective and should be replaced free of charge. I mean, although it's only 1 dead pixel out of god knows how many, it will get distracting.

Just stab the monitor 7 more times and not leave any evidence

my dad's MINIDV digital Camcorder has a dead pixel...I'll admit, it is kinda annoying

I haven't really looked for dead pixels on my DS, but I will now that you mentioned them.

LCD monitors are gay.......there's no way I would drop the amount of money needed to buy a good one just for gaming. You can get a 21 inch CRT monitor for very cheap now, and the CRT monitors have faster refresh rates, and the colors are more vibrant.

Wait, don't look. Ignorance is bliss, remember?

I think LCDs are absolutely gorgeus. GBA SP's LCD is great even though it's frontlit. And playing games on my laptop screen through an AV connection is just godly.

I love the flatness of my LCD monitor. If I'd had a CRT of the same size, I'd sit too close to the screen. Much too close for comfort and health.

I've never had any troubles with LCD monitors' refresh rate.
