Black dots and an Ant in my Sony Bravia X7500E?

[biltan]

Hey guys! i just made my LTT account today and after years of watching their videos on Youtube, it's wonderful to finally be part of the LTT Community!

 

I have a question / discussion about my Sony Bravia X7500E 49" that i bought around 3 months ago in April. (If you haven't heard of this TV before, i'm not surprised because this TV is somehow Asia / South East Asia Exclusive.)

 

So, i bought this TV from a store in Jakarta, Indonesia on April and it was great! it's my first time buying a LED TV with this resolution (I was using a 720p LG TV before)

but after a month or so of use without any problems at all, suddenly these "black dots" suddenly appeared inside the screen on different parts of the screen. Multiple locations like the top left, mid right, bottom left, and top right of the TV. To a point where if you see it from a different angle, these black dots looked 3D as in different dots are positioned differently, not like on a flat screen where the dots are aligned. These aren't.

 

One funny thing is one of these dots looks like an ant!

(Pictures are attached on the post)

 

Does anybody know what's going on? i've been searching the whole internet for answers and i cannot find a specific case like mine.

I even contacted Sony Indonesia about this and they've sent a technician to check the dots but he only took pictures and until now there is not update whatsoever.

 

Thank you!

 

Regards,

Biltan.

Can't tell much from the pictures, maybe those are dead pixels?

definately look like ants to me.  ive got a dead one in my tv too. they are attracted to the electricity.  i'd suggest getting some ant traps.  

 

you'd have to dismantle the display to get them out.

Wonder if the ants have already built a nest inside the tv?
