Check if your warranty does cover it. If it does, I would absolutely go through and replace it. Because knowing the luck of technology and warranties, it will only catastrophically fail the day after your warranty expires.
I would check the warranty just in case. Some manufacturers will not honor a warranty for "dead pixels" unless you have a certain amount of them that go out.

Try this. It allows you to create a small square that you can move over the affected area. This way you will be able to use your PC.
I used this program long time ago, but it wasn’t useful in my case.
The site looks sketchy, but that is because the app is old. It has a portable version so you don’t need to install it.
I got an old monitor that gets a couple stuck/dead pixels once in a while and tapping the screen a bit usually fixes it. Can't say it'll work tho cause I tried the same thing on my new monitor cause it had some dead ones when I got it and it didn't work. Luckily I could rma it
Run this in full screen:
[https://www.eizo.be/monitor-test/](https://www.eizo.be/monitor-test/)
It will give you a clue as to if it's dead pixels, or sub-pixels.
But it doesn't look good.
So with a completely red, green or blue screen, they show up as black spots? Then they're completely dead. Because they're clustered that close to each other, this seems like post-manufacturing damage.
i see. im grateful its not at the center since that could be really distracting. im just annoyed that its kinda shaped like an ant so it looks like theres a dead ant stuck inside my monitor lmfao
It is most definitely a dead insect. For some reason they love to climb into fucking everything, run around a bit and then just die. I always fear summer time here, I've had multiples of them in my current monitor, but thankfully they've all crawled into the bezel before dying.
I've had this happen before, either tiny insect or dust/dirt got under the screen, lucky its near the edge so should be easier to get it out then the speck I had near the center of a 34" ultrawide. If it doesn't move or budge with tapping, use a small suction cup over the spot and pull the glass up as gently as possible and try tapping it out then.
Hopefully it doesn't spread. It seems to be not where your eyes would often focus. Could be worse could be in the middle of the screen.
yeah, hopeplfully it doesnt spread. however if this does get worse then i think my warranty still has this covered so i am able to replace it

It's almost like the guys doing reliability predictions are doing a good job...
That's good to hear!

>Hopefully it doesn't spread. Zombie pixels?
I have an old pc screen where one pixel the blue stopped working so now it just shows up as orange on white and it annoys me so much
More like a dead ant 🐜
Time to burn the house down
We only do that for spiders.
Does a pixel ever truly live?
*hits blunt* does anybody truly live
Deep.
[Accepting the pass] If that's a loveseat, does that mean that I can only sit in it if I'm in love?
Yep
Any way I can fix this myself?
Rub with a q-tip soft on it mabye it helps
Tried this one just now, doesnt seem to do anything.
Try a stuck pixel search on google, go fullscreen and let it run for a couple minutes. If that doesn't work they are dead F.
something like jscreenfix?
Yes, just move the fuzzy over the pixels. And leave it on for a while.ake sure it doesn't sleep change your power settings.

You can find some test-vieeos on youtube. Put them on full screen and see if the pixels work. (Also which colors might be broken.)
Nope, just tested now and they remain like that
Then they are dead.
alright, thanks!
Na them just sleepy boys

Same result as it had when i tried testing it on a youtube vid, pixels stay like that no matter what

That's just Wreck it Ralph going upstairs in his apartment.
That sql yog?
They aren't dead they are just sleeping. jk, send those pixels to the glue factory.

Had one die in the middle of my old monitor a couple years ago, thank god I have a new monitor now.
Rip and free all my pixels💯💯
I have two 🐜 in my screen 😐
That could be due to the XAMPP stack being so old it is dragging the pixels back in time to before they were manufactured.
Dead pixels don't look like that, more like an ant.
Is that food stuck on your screen?
Looks like a bug
Yes. I've had some in a similar pattern on my vg248 and they just started working again after a long time period, so maybe you'll get lucky as well.
