General information on stuck pixels

Stuck pixels are those pixels on an LCD (TFT) screen which get stuck on a certain colour or display wrong colours because a subpixel is stuck as on or off. This software is intended to help in unsticking those pixels by rotating colours. All you have to do is to put the colour square from the "dead pixel remover" on the actual stuck pixel from your screen. Look at the example from the picture below:

 

Stuck pixel is a common deffect on LCD screens. The problem with stuck pixels are that they remain in the "block light" position. A stuck pixel thinks that it is powered to "darken" that particular element. It requires less power for a LCD display to let light out (white page - or backlights and a disconnected display panel) than to stop it (black image).

A stuck pixel is a common pixel defect on LCD screens, where any number of the 3 sub-pixels are faulty, producing (most commonly) permanent red, green and blue pixels on the screen. Unlike dead pixels, stuck pixels have been reported to disappear, and there are certain methods to fix them.We provide the solution here. Sometimes stuck pixels will remain on screens permanently. 

Stuck versus dead pixels

Stuck pixels are similar to (and often falsely labeled as) a dead pixel, whose 3 sub-pixels are permanently off, producing a permanently black pixel. Dead pixels can result from similar manufacturing anomalies as stuck pixels, but may also occur from a non-functioning transistor resulting in complete lack of power to the pixel. Dead pixels are much less likely to correct themselves over time or repaired through any of several popular methods.

Fixing stuck pixels

Unlike dead pixels, stuck pixels can be fixed, and there are several popular methods purported to fix them, such as gently rubbing the screen (in an attempt to reseat the pixel), cycling the color value of the stuck pixel rapidly (in other words, flashing bright colors on the screen,) or simply tolerating the stuck pixel until it disappears (which can take anywhere from a day to years.) Stuck pixels are not guaranteed to be correctable, and can remain faulty for the life of the monitor. Two methods have emerged, regarded to be 'folk wisdom', which can potentially repair a stuck pixel.

I don't recommend you to use the "gently rubbing the screen" method. You can actually do more harm to the LCD screen. Please use the software method we provide for removing the stuck pixels. You can download it from here.
