    So I finally got my One today, but there's something wrong with it. The screen doesn't look right, as you can see:

    Any idea if it's fixable, or will I have to return it?

    Is that after a power off reboot?

    I think it is going back :(

    Where did you buy it from?
    How long have you had it?

    The chances of getting that many dead pixels alll in the same place are like a billion billion to one lol.
    More likely a slice in the monitor cable.
    Definitely should go back though

    I don't think it's dead pixels as the whole of the taskbar is showing, but the 'main' area of the display has been lopped off at the side. (That doesn;t help with fixing it though, sorry :roll:)

    That happens when the displays connector is not properly attached.

    After installing my 1GB extra mem, I had that problem. I resolved it by opening the computer again, removing the display connector and then reattaching it.
