[edit] Removed unsourced section "Dead and Stuck Pixels"

I've removed this section from the article because it is unsourced, and I couldn't find anything on Google to support it, either. The Defective pixel article doesn't mention anything about dead pixels being harmful to the whole screen, either, so this section seems to be misinformation.

Stuck pixels are spots on the screen that appear blue, red, white or green on a black background. Dead pixels are spots that appear black on a white background. Dead or stuck pixels are caused from faulty transistors and can create major problems. Stuck or dead pixels affect the integrity of the screen. They will spread over a matter of weeks and can cause the screen to stop working. If the dead or stuck pixels are left for a long period of time (a month or so) the screen will eventually break down and possibly cause a fire due to electrical problems. If one of these dead or stuck pixels are spotted, immediately return the TV to the store from which it was bought. The sooner it is returned the easier it will be to get a replacement TV.

[edit] Fixed refresh rate an different 50/60Hz TV standards

Most CRT displays can show both 50Hz PAL/SECAM and 60Hz NTSC. However, most LCDs have a fixed refresh rate (typically 60Hz for computer monitors) so how do they cope with these different inputs? Dropped/doubled frames? I suppose it depends on manufacturer. For games consoles it could be a major problem. I have been unable to locate much information about it though, except a few forum posts complaining about how poor 60Hz looks on 50Hz LCD TVs etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mojo-chan (talk • contribs) 16:26, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
