How to Fix a Dead Pixel on an ASUS VK222U Monitor
LCD screens, including the ASUS VK222U's monitor, may sometimes have minor internal issues, such as transistors not working or an error in the distribution of LCD liquid. This can cause some pixels to appear as a single color on the screen, regardless of the color of the images displayed on the screen. The pixel can be fixed, however, by either rubbing the screen or using a pixel-fixing program.
