Well, I guess it's really thunderbugs then :-P Sometimes very small |
| 25 |
insects get inside the monitor, and get fried when they walk on the TFT |
| 26 |
panel. They're visible and pretty much equivalent to a bunch of dead |
| 27 |
pixels. It's virtually impossible to get them out again. |

This is the reason I never bought a TFT monitor with cooling slits on |
| 30 |
it; only tightly closed ones with external power supplies. No insects |
| 31 |
can get in that way. |
