This guide is intended for users facing dead or stuck pixel on their LCD monitors. Sometimes we notice a little dampened area on our screen, or we see a bunch of spots where display is completely missing or is of some random colour ( Red, Green, blue ). Almost every screen out there has a few dead pixels or overtime you might notice a dead or stuck pixel on your screen.
Difference between dead & stuck pixel
A dead pixel can be seen a black dot on your screen. There can be one dead pixel or it may be a bunch of dead pixels.
Whereas a stuck pixel is a dot with either of the three colours i.e. red, green or blue.
Here are a few tools that will help in reducing or sometimes even almost fixing the issue to an extent & making it bearable to watch.
