someone at uni has told me that you can get programs that blast pure colours at the screen at high rates that can fix the stuck pixels people get on their tft's

any truth in it ? if so does anybody know where one can be obtained, freeware obviously.

Thanks, Matt
 
Yes it may work, but its not guaranteed. If they are dead pixels (black or white) then they are unfixable. I dont have any programs although they are available on the net. Maybe try lookping a fast paced movie liek the matrix or looping a 3dmark program for a while, that may sort it.

Another trick is to 'massage' the dead pixel with a cotton bud, but i dont know whether you risk scrathing your screen in the process.
 
from the sticky ;)

To test for dead pixels, there is "Dead Pixel Buddy" available program. You can manually cycle through 5 full screen colours (black/white/red/green/blue) to check for dead or lazy pixels (use UP key) or rapidly cycle through all of the colours automatically to try and coax lazy sub-pixels back to life. Leave it running for half an hour, if you're lucky it can work! (SPACE key). ESC key ot exit.

....Some lazy pixels can be bought back to life occasionally. Playing some fast paced games for a while, and massaging the pixel area with a lint free cloth can sometimes help revive the lazy pixel, but not in all cases. Also a light flicking with the finger has helped revive lazy pixels for some people, so certainly worth a try.
