There is a bug INSIDE my monitor

I've got one of the blighters, pretty much in the middle of the screen

Don't really notice it most of the time but have tried to clone it out before now when processing photos!!

Atleast you havnt got what looks like a stone chip on your screen, like you get with a car windscreen :\

Thats what I have on my laptop, I thought it was a dead pixel, but on closer inspection there is a chip in the screen.

I still recon you should get the fly foaming at the mouth with some flashing visuals/strobe effects

Now there's a second one in there, it's crawling around. I have the screen switched off and a bright halogen spotlight pointing at the rear, towards the edge.

I had one in my old Samsung 17" TFT. Noticed it one day and thought "wtf?" and squished it.

To be honest, I didn't notice it as the years went on.

I've now got a nice 19" widescreen Dell monitor, which has, so far, been bug-free. Then again, I have re-sited my computer to a different part of the house.
