How to Locate Dead or Stuck Pixels on an LCD Monitor

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Noah. And I'm going to talk to you about how to locate dead or stuck pixels on an LCD monitor. A dead pixel is a pixel that stays black and won't change to any color at all. Where as a stuck pixel, is a pixel that's on but simply stuck in one color. For example, red or yellow. Now you can try fixing stuck pixels with a software solution on the Internet called JScreen Fix. Which you can find at JScreenfix.com. This is a Java application that runs directly from your web browser. And if you leave it over your stuck pixels for over 20 minutes. Then it should make them go away. Now if this doesn't work though, you can also try doing what's called a Pixel Massage. Which is done by gently rubbing and slightly pushing on your screen. To spot where your pixel's stuck. Just remember to turn your screen off, before you do this. And then turn it back on. To check if it's been fixed. Also you should be very careful when trying this. Because sometimes it does result in causing more stuck pixels. Instead of fixing the one that you already have. Finally, you also might want to check your LCd screen's warranty. Because most manufacturers offer to replace your screen. If a certain number of pixels are stuck or dead."
