<title>Fixing LCD Stuck Pixels, Dead Pixels and Burn-in</title>
<link>http://www.asp.johnavis.com/blog/default.asp?id=382</link>
<description>A stuck pixel is a coloured dot most noticable when the rest of the screen is black.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A dead pixel is a black dot noticable when the rest of the screen is white.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Burn-in (also known as image persistence) occurs when part or all of the display stays on screen for long periods without changing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you have a dead pixel then there is nothing you can do. However if you have a stuck pixel then there is a small possibility that you may be able to get it working again. LCD burn-in can also be improved (but not completely eliminated) on LCD screens.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To try and fix these problems you can download the applet at &lt;a href=http://www.jscreenfix.com/&gt;www.jscreenfix.com&lt;/a&gt; and follow the instructions there. Note: this applet cannot be downloaded or operated if you are using Internet Explorer. Instead use &lt;a href=http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/&gt;Firefox&lt;/a&gt; or another compatible browser.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A proper screen blanker (one that keeps all parts of the display changing reasonably frequently) is a good idea on any type of monitor.</description>
