Always ask for the screen to be turned on if bought in a shop. But guaranteed screen if buying by mail order / on line.
Alternatively, when buying online theres two options:
1) "It came like that in the box, guv!" or, if you dont like breaking stuff (cant bring myself to do it) 2) "Its got an annoying high pitched while / intermittent flicker / weird tint"
repeat: until screen = good
