Learn to read and you will see "ltrinh" and "andeguy" asked what costco's return policy was.

you might want to take your own advise as both of them ask a retorical question...

Not true, my question is not retorial. IMHO, Costco has the best return and warranty policy (even 90 days). If someone claims to there is a better policy, I am interested to know.

reaglebeagles said:I agree with nateng72...well packaged, tv looks great, very happy with quality and picture. However, I also have 1 dead/stuck pixel in top right quadrant...it has green glow to it. It is all but undetectable when watching tv but it bothers me just knowing it is there. I am debating returning and reordering another just to start with "perfect condition" screen but could certainly be happy with it as is. Any suggestions on fixing the pixel?

reaglebeagles, i thought about doing the same thing but i didn't want to wait and wait. and, what if the next tv arrived with even more dead pixels or something else worse?

i decided to be happy with mine

besides, people have kept their tvs with more than 1 dead pixels...so, may be, 1 is ok...cheers!

Just close your eyes. Then you won't see the dead pixel.

It's just 1 pixel, live with it. Not worth the hassle of returning it IMO.

I'm stuck on this as well. Definitely going to pick up ONE of these....but which?

You have to make the decision. I returned my aquos... it's just me and hope it helps.

Have you tried "massaging" the stuck-on pixel? I fixed a stuck-on pixel on a 19" LCD monitor by pressing on it (with a eraser) when powering on. It took a few times before it's permanently fixed. Explanations of why this would work can be searched, sorry I don't have the link at this moment.

I ordered one of these on 3/12/07 at about 11:30 PM. I was very happy with the shipping time, got to me by 3/15/07.

I too am comfortable with Costco's return policy, so I purchased a 37" Vizio the same day I ordered the Sceptre as the site quoted up to 10 business days, and I didn't want to wait that long. Anyways, after hooking everything up to the Sceptre I wasn't very happy with the picture. I couldn't tell if it was just my imagination that it was so much worse than the Vizio, so I hooked them both up side-by-side and found that I liked looking at the Vizio more. I played around with the adjustments for a while on the Sceptre, but still couldn't get it to look as good. I am not going to claim to be a master at tuning these, so I am sure it is capable of more than I have done, but still it seems to have a lot more lag and artifacts than the Vizio.

Now I am left with a huge moral dilemma: do I sacrifice a little on the quality for a bigger picture, or go with the 37" and save $200? Lucky for me I have 90 days to make the decision. I guess for now I will play around with the settings more on the Sceptre to improve the situation.

Sorry for the long post, but I hope my experience will somehow help someone.

are you using the Avia disk to set up your set? i watched mine (sceptre) for a week without using the disk because i had loaned it to a friend. i finally got it back and i have to say, the picture was superb on HD QAM and pretty good on regular cable. i am very happy with the sceptre purchase.
