- I returned a TV to Best buy because it had a dead pixel. I remember the manager was real annoyed, but exactly what you said. What, I saved up for all that time to buy a TV... Only to pick the wrong one in the line and I should suffer for it? Nah. Exchanged it for a working one, manufacturer can take the hit, not me
- Do you own one? Can you see the bumps with the screen on? The screen doesn't have to look good when it's off - there's nothing to look at then. It just has to look good when it's on.
- Expecting every display to not have dead pixel or 2 is incredibly wasteful. So many perfectly good monitors and TVs would end up as scrap if the manufacturer had to pull every single one. Mountains of ewaste.
  This expectation of excessive perfection and uniformity is really damaging.
  
  If we can't expect excessive perfection then manufaturers should sell it at 70% discount.
  
  Dead pixel is a dealbreaker. Scuffs on the casing, sure. Not a dead pixel. Maybe on a large 4K TV I guess.
They're texture bumps. We should actually charge you for that feature.

- Android would call it tactile feedback. Apple would call it ProSense 3D.
I have a Pixel 8 Pro. I can see the "bumps" if I look at an extreme angle with the screen off. They're not visible with the screen on, and they're below the screen so there's nothing to feel. It does seem like a non issue unless something changes.
- How do you consider it a non-issue if it's a defect in something you purchased from a major manufacturer? I hope you got an extra discount for this when you purchased it.
  
  I'm not convinced it's a defect. For it to be a defect, it has to be unintentional and unwanted. There's nothing at this point to suggest it was unintentional, and it doesn't have any impact on my experience using it, therefore it's not unwanted. It's entirely benign.
sure google says it and it's fine my doctor says it about my skin and it's all doom and gloom
I had some bumps on my 7 pro already.
