Fix Stuck LCD Panel Pixels (Maybe)

After watching an episode of dl.tv I was turned on to a cool little program that may be able to fix those problem pixels that sometimes appear on an LCD screen. If you have looked at many LCD screens you probably have noticed that some have pesky little pixels that are just stuck showing a single color that never changes. While these defective pixels are normally very tiny they can be annoying. UndeadPixel is a little program that may be able to help.



First you use the little color utility on the left side of the screen to locate your dead pixels, then you use the right side of the screen to run the utility on the problem area. It works by giving the area of your screen that contains the problem pixel a serious workout by rapidly changing the colors in the problem area in the hopes of unsticking the pixel. The site author recommends that you let the process run for a couple of hours. There are no guarantees, but it has appareantly worked for some people.
