    Alright just got a new LCD.. love it but theres 1 stuck or dead pixel..

    It appears black (Dead). But heres what I dont understand.. it can turn RED and BLUE. When I turn the entire screen RED/BLUE with UDPixel it goes away, every other color its clearly visible. Now this would tell me its STUCK, but ive tried everything and nothing seems to work.

    I CAN return it (Amazon). But I just dont know if I should.. it is in the upper right hand corner of the screen and isnt THAT noticable.. but i really wish I could get it unstuck..

    Any input (Which there probly isnt a whole lot to say) is welcome.

    try moving your finger over the pixel to see if that corrects the problem.

    Yeah tried it, poking it, taping it.. everything. Im a bit color blind so I had someone else look at it and they say its RED. Soo I guess it is a stuck pixel but I sure cant get it to unstuck.

    I never had much luck with pixel revival methods. I had 6 dead pixels on my old monitor appear after it was 2 years old, I simply sold it and upgraded as nothing cured the issue. You would be wise to return the monitor if you can, as dead pixels can 'spread'
