I have an iPhone 4s on iOS 7.1.1 with what appears to be either a stuck or dead pixel. On every colour except blue, the pixel will appear black, but on a blue background it will disappear (or become blue as well).

Can somebody tell me whether it is a stuck pixel or a dead pixel, and if so what i can do about it. The iPhone has no warranty or AppleCare (it ran out ages ago).
 
Sounds like a dead pixel if it's black.

Your best option would be to pay for a replacement handset (cost outside AppleCare ), but you'd need to weigh up the cost of the replacement vs a new model.

Go to http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/ and it'll tell you the cost. For new handsets it's £180 flat fee, so not sure what a 4s would be.
