Hello Dave,

me too purchased a new tx2-1015 last week.. there's a tiny dot which can be clearly seen on the monitor in the right bottom corner of the screen and is particularly conspicuous when the screen has a light background such as blue (yes I tried to wipe it out but its obviously a production fault!)...By concidence, I also have an old laptop of Toshiba, which I inspected closely to discover their monitor is perfectly normal.

Myself, no idea what I could do about it since I bought it in the UK, as wanted a new brand model and they're not sold in my home country yet. The online seller I got it from had the only one item left in stock, so they couldn't have changed it even if they'd wanted..This dot is a tiny little one and is not in the main screen area, so is not noticeable when you watch movies, but I was so dissappointed, you want a normal monitor for your money, don't you. doesnt HP have quality check on its monitors.:(

could HP possibly replace it, any ideas?

yours respectfully,
Maria

In fact, I only bought it last week. HP said yes, they could replace it, as their pixel policy states any 2 dots within 25 mm of each
other that are always on is valid reason for replacement.

My only problem remains that I bought it from a UK retailer while am in Russia now- HP Russia can't change it as they told me by phone. so will have to wait when Im in the UK again.
:) so the only other thing I could wish for is that HP worldwide could adapt the same policy everywhere, so I didn't have to go back to the UK to change it.

I read somewhere that there was a multi-touch double tap "boss key" feature that blanks the screen. I accidentally got it to work twice. but I had to take out the battery and drain the power to get my screen to come back on.

That is what I came up with when I had this issue. HP just needs to code a bit more carefully here and there.
