Nintendo Switch Dead Pixels are Not a ‘Defect’ Says Nintendo
Since the console launched last week, players across the globe have reported that their Switch systems came with dead pixels, meaning that the device’s portable tablet is unable to display anything in small parts of the screen. Some of the pixels are at the edge of the screen and therefore don’t cause too much of a distraction, but some players say that dead pixels have showed up right in the middle, making games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild a challenge to play on the go.
While a dead pixel does not completely ruin the Nintendo Switch experience, it certainly puts a damper on it. It’s also especially frustrating as this does not seem to be the only problem that fans have with the game’s hardware. Reports of a Nintendo Switch blue screen of death problem have cropped up while some are also facing connectivity issues with the Joy-Con controllers. Disgruntled players are asking why Nintendo was unable to address or check for these sorts of problems prior to the console’s launch.
The official response from Nintendo is also vexing, as it leaves affected players unsure of what to do. As Nintendo doesn’t see the dead pixels as a problem, does this mean that the company is unwilling to offer replacement Switch consoles, even if there are multiple clumps of dead pixels on the screen?
As some have noted, when the Nintendo DS was affected by the same issue because of its LED screens, Nintendo did not offer replacements, but Switch owners are hoping that maybe this will be different.

This has always been the case. Wayyyy back when psp came out and we started holding screens that close noticing stuff like this it was explained how fragile and tedious the lcd is blah blah blah. Anyways tvs have them sometimes too. So what's the difference now?

Considering a lot of other companies that actually make and sell monitors have a similar policy you guys have no reason to complain. Blame the panel manufacturers before you blame Nintendo.

Seems like they knew these dead pixels were gonna happen. Kinda lame they didn't fix the issue before release instead of rushing to push the Switch out there.

Nicholas All the negativity the console is getting really persuades me not to buy this.
I think after a while it will be all fixed.
