So I received a pair of DJI FPV goggles from my wife for my birthday so I powered up my brand new set and did an update through the DJI Assistant 2. I then noticed a single black vertical line - of what appears to be dead pixels - in the right eye display running down the middle from top to bottom (pic attached).

Has this happened to anyone before? Is it normal to gamble like this with DJI products? You buy something brand new and have to send it to China for repair or probably replacement with a used set?

I had the same and returned it  - bought new ones

Who did you return it to and who refunded you? Was it DJI or the store?

I bought mine on email brand new from a reseller - in germany you can return it withing 14 days so I did. At the same time I bought new ones.

Also I did contact DJI and they told me NO REPAIR as I has just one Dead pixel.

Thanks man, that's useful information

When powering on the goggles only? This is exactly what I did. These goggles are absolutely brand new and not even bound to an air unit yet. I plugged them in, did a firmware update and the line appeared.

My wife spent a ridiculous amount of money on these goggles and I haven't even had a chance to fly anything with them. The dealer says I have to deal with DJI Support and I have already raised a case (CAS-5460253-W8K2J8)

Bought these BRAND NEW in Dubai for $$$, now I have to pay $ to send them back to Hong Kong. What a joke.

Items sent to Hong Kong for repair. It cost me $180 in shipping fees. Completely unacceptable for a supposedly brand DJI product

I am deeply sorry for the delay, could you please provide the name of the dealer to me? Besides, may I know if you have shipped the unit back? If so, please provide the tracking number to me, I will keep an eye on it.

The goggles were sent back already and were received on 16th November. Your support tracking site has never been updated

The supplier was gadgetby.com in Dubai - similar complaints on UAE FPV groups about the same supplier

Sorry again for the difficulties.
