I have recently discovered software that apparently fixes dead-pixels on LCD monitors... Has anyone used anything like this before, and does it work?

If not has anyone managed to get rid of dead-pixels by the cloth-pressure method?

I may be being stupid, but how the hell can software fix dead-pixels?

I thought it wasn't true either, although according to some sources if you filcker parts of your screen (were the dead-pixels are located) so many times a second you can get rid of them.

I dont think it would repair a dead pixel, its in the monitor its self, hasnt got anything to do with the computer :/

EDIT: i want a link, i can try it on my dads computer

I found this info from this site, if you check out the external links that's where the software is.

Sounds dodgy, i'm not sure if it'd work.

although, it might be plausible

* vaccination would like to know what happens, dazzy.

There is a major difference between a dead pixel and a pixel which is 'stuck' in a certain state.

EDIT: and if you read that site:

These instructions will fix "stuck" pixels, not "dead" ones. Dead pixels appear black while stuck pixels can be one constant color like red, blue or green.

It states the same....

I thought that by the title of the article and then read to see 'If your LCD screen has a stuck or dead pixel' so i thought it worked for both.

obviously not though =/

but i should have read it all the first time

*slaps self*

Although the program is called undead pixels. Not to mention the site starts with this paragraph:

"If your LCD screen has a stuck or dead pixel (a point on the screen that is always lit or always dark) it is usually due to a transistor malfunction or uneven distribution of liquid in the liquid crystal display (TFT LCD). This can often be fixed."

I must of had some stuck pixels anyway since some have disappeared.

FFS,
They are exagurating.
To the point; If the pixel is dead t cannot be revived.
If the pixel is however just "stuck" then yes the programs works in that sense.
So for all you know yours could be stuck and not dead so it's worth a shot
