Yep. The first day i have my dx 200mw red, i manage to burn out a load of pixels on my pc screen. When i turned on the laser, it was pointing at the pc, and was focused. When i moved it - A load of pixels wern't working =/

I think that in the best interests from your PC, you should stop.

Yep. Pics are worth 1,000 words.

I've shined mine at my screen a couple times but never tried or accidentally burned pixels! ::) I wonder, is yours a LCD or an old tube?

Hehe, I once burned my phone's screen intentionally. Yeah, it showed a few dead pixels o.0.

Also, my computer screen has some dead pixels it didn't have before, but that can be anything really, as I recently moved it.

I'm so worried about that happening to my LCD screen. I'm trying to move my laser projects out of my room.. lol

My laser has flashed over my laptop a few times. Luckily, no dead pixels :D I'd be pissed as anything if my new laptop got dead pixels, at least you can replace the screen on desktops :-/

Yeah, but it ain't as easy as just buying a new monitor and swapping it over. You'd need a tech to do it.

Unless you're competent with computer repair, which I'm not. :-/

I think you're underestimating yourself. It really isn't hard to do. But if you're one of those guys who don't even have a toolkit at home, you may want to call someone. ;)

I had to leave all my tools behind when I went to live on Uni Campus, otherwise I could probably risk doing it myself :)

What would compel a person to shine a burning laser at his own LCD? I'd be afraid it'd reflect and blind me even.

Iv burned a few on purpose on my laptop, but it was in the lower left corner, and you have to get close to even notice they're there. heh, I burnt a "XD" face into this weird key on the keyboard that doesn't do anything. Well its not really a key, its like an empty gap that HP decided to make look better by placing a piece of plastic on it... I'll have to post a pic sometime.
