HelpComputerGeek will warrant these items against defects for 7 days from the delivery date (non-DOA warranty), after which time repair/replacement must go through the manufacturer.

Please be advised that this extended warranty is final and any additional extensions are non-negotiable.

LCD Dead Pixel Policy

 On an LCD monitor, pixels can become stuck in the off position, causing pinpoint holes in the displayed image. Most manufacturers and product vendors require at least eight of these “dead” pixels before they consider the monitor defective. Due to our commitment to customer service, HelpComputerGeek is going beyond the industry standard and offering warranty replacement on LCD monitors with five dead pixels. This applies to the HelpComputerGeek warranty only, and does not extend into the manufacturer’s warranty period.
