Monitor fault... dead pixel? Odd...

[Legend]

This is clearly some kind of defect that's just appeared, although I've not seen anything like it before. Any ideas?

 

[Legend]

Not the dreaded thunderfly?

No it's clearly not one of those... you can see in the close-up that it appears as a small '+', and there's a smudgy horizontal section below it. I've seen plenty of dead/stuck pixels in my time, but nothing like this. I'd almost think something had hit the monitor, but I know that hasn't happened. It's appeared overnight as I'm sure it wasn't there last night, as I was on my computer for a good few hours and I'm sure I'd have noticed given it's virtually in the middle of the screen.

 

[Legend]

Oh, I thought the + was some kind of cursor.

Weird, never seen that before. Definate fault then. Monitor under warranty?

Yeah me either. Not sure about warranty, can't recall when I bought this, will need to check. Just my luck I'll find out it ended yesterday ha!

 

[Legend]

Well, the mystery deepens... turned on my monitor this morning and it was gone!! This isn't my main monitor anyway, but it's puzzling.

As mentioned, mine vanished and was never to be seen again. Mystery!
