White pixel means it's dead?

Trying to decide whether to try and revive it but no point if a white pixel is considered dead (sucessful revival would mean i have a zombie pixel :eek:

)

If it's constantly white or 1 colour I think it's referred to as a stuck pixel, not dead.

I have a one pixel that is constantly red, how can i try & fix this,

sorry for hijack

give it a few light taps (just be gentle), then google for a dead/stuck pixel program on google

Had a toshiba laptop that looked like it had dull white pixels - got the screen replaced in the end..

well, I've got one "dead" pixel on my Yuraku 24", just sits there, tried flicking it slightly, nothing, then tried some software on the net, nothing, think if it's white like mine, you probably haven't got much chance!

Depends on the type of monitor. Dead pixels on a TN panel (most cheap screens) are pure white, dead pixels on IPS or *VA panels are black.
