Does anyone know what this is, I've had it forever.... usualy shows when hte screen goes dark, it's hte size of a pixel....

guessin its a damaged pixel !! mite be under warranty (you will have to check) so u could probably take it back to where u got it

I have had my laptop less then 2 months and it has a dead pixel already and HP is calling it a cosmetic defect

Aparantly you don't get your screen replaced untill there is a number of dead pixels.

I have one already. I have only had my monitor for less then 2 months.

Wow, seems that this is a pretty big problem...:\
PS: After I got my motherboard replaced, for free(warrenty) I don't have n e more freebies...

woulda been cheaper to buy the mobo and have the monitor replaced. its called a dead pixel. i think the lcd standard allows for a maximum of 5 dead pixels or something. (DONT QUOTE ME)

a friend of mine bought a Nintendo DS that has a dead pixel near the center of the top screen.. apparently alot of DS's have these problems, but usually more than one pixel. seems like companies are getting lazy with making these LCD screens..

What make is the screen?

... i'd suggest getting a sony display, i've had it for nearly 2 years and not a single thing wrong with it.

ya man it is a damaged pixel my comp has the same thing

My monitor is an extremely old IBM CRT 17" monitor and has absolutley nothing wrong with it
