You can rub a dead pixel with your finger for 30 seconds to revive it.

well , something more , one question , will cleaning , i mean usually wiping it clean , we do that many times , i think over the time they will get damaged eventually because we do touch them while cleaning ?
that would be something serious because cant do away with cleaning or cleaning without touching ?

I also don’t like when people touch my computer screen coz i always keep it clean and touching it causes stubborn fingerprints in my antiglare coated monitor.

Lyndonmaxewell: Yeah, they do. Maybe, they are putting those poor little TFTs into stress test before buying them

Well, I do see people are fond of doing this for display sets in shops. If only they understand…

Anirudh: Sorry to hear that. This morning, I was testing some spam tackling techniques… Perhaps, your comment was lost in the process.

But, I really wonder why I didn’t get the comment notification for those. Anyway, sorry again.

If something like this happends again, please let me know.

TechZ: Oh.. boy! I’m glad to see you again. I share the same feeling with those who love to touch TFTs. This morning, my mom did it with my notebook’s screen. Luckily, HP gave me a screen wiping utility (as a compliment)

I’ve seen that software around before, not to mention a good ‘stuck pixel’ fixer, that uses rapid videos/clips to unstick a pixel on PSP/iPods.

I hate when people touch monitors! The fingerprints :O

It means touching TFT monitor’s screen can be dangerous, so everybody, keep your hands on your pocket before playing with a TFT monitor. And many cyber cafe’s have the TFT monitor, so it is sure that their TFT monitors have dead pixels because all come and touch the screen of the monitor.

I’d written two comments in the morning. whatever happened to those.

anyways, dead pixels can be fixed in some cases.

Something’s really wrong with your comment system.

Lovedeep: Thanks, I would call it better research. Actually, I had this question in mind for a long time. I finally did some research over it

Andrew: I’m not sure, if there is a dead pixel checker for iPod. Even if you iPod has few dead pixels, nothing can be done about it. Check Apple’s Dead Pixel Policies.

Interesting tool to check for dead pixels. You think it’ll work for iPods as well? I’ve got an iPod that has one dead pixel (I think).
