Red Pixel

Hi all, I recently bought a Samsung Pebble 20":
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-063-SA&groupid=703&catid=17&subcat=948

OcUK delivered as quick as I expected, and I am very pleased with the monitor besides one small issue.
There is a permanently red pixel in the mid/bottom/right of my screen, is there any way i can get rid of this? I can never notice it on lighter colours, it appears like its not there at all, but as soon as I am looking at something dark it gets very noticeable.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Have you tried rubbing it gently?

My 20" Samsung has one as well, I've tried all the methods on the net and cant get rid of it. Doesn't bother me too much though.

When my 22" pebble started to develop a sticky green pixel I held, with a little pressure, the stylus of my PDA directly on the pixel and switched the monitor on and off a few times. Thankfully the pixel then started to work ok and has stayed that way the past month.

I have a sky blue one stuck, or is it light green.....
funnily enough I only even know it's there because I was messing about with a dead pixel finder :rolleyes:

Luckily I never notice it unless I look for it, tried massage and a flasher thingy, no joy.

My red pixel was back yesterday, and its gone again now? Guess my pixel isn't stuck, its just lazy.
