While many sellers, both here and elsewhere, advertise their PB 2400s as having perfect screens everyone should understand that it is uncommon to find an LCD screen without at least one bad pixel. If a seller wishes to advertise a perfect, or near perfect screen, they should consider providing the results of a test using PowerBook Active Matrix. This neat little freeware utility will display the number of bad pixels, by color, on your active matrix screen. Remember, if manufacturers required perfect screens we would be paying a significant premium for all laptops. This Apple TIL article goes into a bit more detail: http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n22194.

The listings are getting slimmer....but 2400s continue to show up on eBay and on the DuoList.
