Pixel fix

Pixels in LCDs sometimes get stuck or go bad. A previous post mentioned massaging a stuck pixel to get it going again. There are also software programs that can help with trying to revive a dead pixel. One freeware application is Injured Pixel:

A defective (hot, dead or stuck) pixel is a pixel that does not illuminate properly or does not display the correct color output. It usually looks like an annoying black, white or colored spot on your screen.

InjuredPixels fills the entire screen with a primary or custom color, allowing you to inspect the screen for pixels that do not match the selected color. The program is easy to use: click or use the arrow keys to cycle through colors or right-click to get the menu with the main commands.

A similar program is Pixel Doctor. Note that the download from this site uses the file compression format RAR, which may not be recognized by many PCs.
