Brand New Laptop question?
I recently purchased this new laptop, an Asus x551MAV. It's processor is Intel Celeron, 2.16 ghz, 4GB Memory, 500GB HD. When I first opened it, it was brand new fresh and worked perfectly. No issues whatsoever. Used it a few times for basic things, music, videos, mail, web. Did not get any virus or malware.
Then today I noticed while reading some news on MSN, I noticed there was something black, spots of pixels flashed; which I noticed with the side of my eye. It wasnt directly at me. At first I thought it was my eyes being blurry, my vision but it wasn't it was the laptop screen.
I checked another site to see if it maybe was just that site, but even on Youtube searching some videos..randomly that black spot pixels would show up out of nowhere.
What I mean by show up is, this is how it looks like: You know how sometimes when your HDMI cable on your game system on TV goes loose, then you see spots of black showing that the line is loose so the display is messed up. Looks like that except not the WHOLE screen. Just random space on the screen..
My question is, should I be worried that the LCD screen monitor will die out soon? Is this a sign of LCD dying? What could have caused this?
I did not get a warranty, but I didnt not drop or damage laptop. Should I think about returning it within the 14 day return on receipt for refund in case something is faulty about this particular laptop?
Thanks.

thats ironic, it was the last one left and employee said i was lucky.
But the black spots dont STICK on screen, it showed up a little then goes away. Thats still clear sign of defective pixels?

[quote=iDrinkOJ]you should return it and get a better laptop. celerons suck unless you only browse and email. why would you want to keep a defective product.[/quote]
But I didnt get it online, I went in store at bestbuys to purchase the laptop..why would bestbuys keep in store and sell defective new laptops? It was sealed new, not open box.
Yeah celeron is nothing special, very basic...but I don't game on laptop/online anymore. But I do download music, browse web, stream, videos.

hmm , well it suddenly stopped. I'll consider returning if I see it once more.
