I recently purchased a new LCD screen that came with a stuck red pixel smack dab in the middle of the screen. This is very irritating when playing a game or watching a movie. The pixel wouldn't even bother me, however, if it wasn't directly in the middle -- where it is almost impossible to ignore.
I have tried virtually everything to fix it, including pressure methods (massage the pixel with your finger behind a cloth, tap it with a pencil eraser, put pressure on the pixel while turning on/off the monitor) and screen flashing methods (countless programs that randomly flash colors in hopes of rejuvenating that pesky pixel). The only thing I haven't tried is leaving one of these programs on the pixel for more than 6 hours.
So, I guess my question is: Am I out of luck? I've heard that these stuck pixels can fix themselves over time, is that true? Should I leave one of the screen flashing programs on for more than 6 hours, or is there any point?
Basically, any help would be greatly appreciated.
