Hello,

I have been very frustrated as my monitor has a pixel that's permanently greyish/black. I think it's a dead pixel. However, when I use that UDpixel utility that rapidly flashes colors on that pixel, I can see it flashing. So is this a dead pixel or a stuck pixel?

Can I fix this? If so, how?

Sounds like it is stuck. I've had that happen on my samsung panels. I pressed lightly on the pixels with my finger and they have worked since.

It sounds like a stuck pixel.

There are free programs that you can use to try and fix these issues, however they don't always work.

I used to have a monitor with a stuck pixel, I could never fix it, so I learned to live with it.

I want to try that pressing thing, however, could it make it even worse? That's what I'm scared of.

Just to add, I've had UndeadPixel on for hours now, with no luck.
