i demand you to send me this program that scans a file to see if its a scam!

I have a lit pixel on my lcd. No dead pixels though. Mine is jsut while all the time

I think it might be stuck one "white" so the program might work

I actually I had a "stuck" red pixel near the top-middle of my monitor - only after about 3 days of having it! However, this was as I was starting an old Dx 3.1 game (Dungeon Keeper) which ran the intro in 320x240 mode, when it switch 640x480 mode, the stuck pixel was gone. And it isn't there anymore when I play the game.

So... I would assume you don't actually need an extra piece of software to fix "stuck" pixels...

What's the cloth-pressure thing, btw?

LCD = Liquid crystal display

When you rub over the surface of your LCD, you will notice it changes color. Doing this very extremely forcefully into one point (ram a pen into it ) can damage the crystals, doing it with normal pressure (eg: slightly more pressure than whiping it clean) with a cloth or something can revive "stuck" crystals.

alongside other benefits such as higher power consumption, lower refresh rates, larger form factor, lower precision colour management and image shape control, yeah

CRT's have useually far smaller refresh rates than LCDs. But this isn't the most imporant thing, the important thing is the response time, which is very high on LCDs (not so high anymore with state of the art ones, but still higher). And LCDs also have a far bigger lag/ghosting.

Colour management depends on make and model, and neither LCDs or CRTs is 'best' at this. Same with image shapes.

Also something very important is the contrast ratio, which is in general much higher on CRTs. LCDs are softer and more than often the black is actually grey because of the way LCDs work.

LCDs have far more chances of dead pixels than CRTs. In fact, with LCDs it is normal to have dead pixels and this is also calculated into the quality control before they are sold. Although now some brands have a "zero defective pixel" guarentee, but certainly not all.

LCDs can have more problems in displaying stuff in other resolutions than their own standard resolution and may produce slightly distored images, colors or artifacts.

LCDs have a far less viewing angle (though this can be a benefit, depends on your POV - also literally -)

Older models put more strain on the eyes because of flickering (you may not notice it, but it does).


The only benefit LCDs have over CRTs is the low power consumption and low heat production and the small space they require.

holy hell, it worked, i just unstuck a green pixel using the "undead pixels" program, and applying moderate pressure to the pixel with a cloth, its gone now
