If you are like me and just bought a brand new TV the other day, you will be somewhat freaking out.
What i thought was a dead pixel because of flickering to black pixels, turns out to be a bug potentially. I tapped it originally to revive it and squished the thing right in there.
On examination its about 80% the size of the pixel, looks like its far back inside the screen and doesn't remain in place with the actual pixels on screen when you move your head to different angles. So small it looks like a dead pixel.
This wasnt the only one though, there were others but what i would assume is on the surface of the screen. I would see pixels dim out or change a certain color, on closer inspection (litterally face to the screen) there is very very tiny line almost like a spec of dust taking up about 20% of a pixel square. Can sorta squish them, flick them, blow them away, and they really love when i put a green image to fullscreen for some reason and you start seeing them on more pixels.
What the **** are these? I would think these are mites or thunderflies, but some people have called me insane/paranoid in the past or on drugs because of this. Clearly not when a squished one has screwed my new TV (hoping right now that it will dry out and disappear because its 70% better than when it was first there, suction cups and tapping etc)
And yea warning, don't touch the screen in summer
