What to do with dead pixel?

[axxo]

My less than a month older viewsonic vx2235wm caught a dead pixel(not a stuck pixel) very recently. I tried with few software solutions in trying to fix it but none helped. What should i do to get this rectified?

I guess only stuck pixel can be fixed. Dead pixel, as the name says, is dead. There are some tools that claim to fix dead pixel:
*www.killdeadpixel.com/
*fixdeadpixels.uv.ro/
*deadpixel.googletoad.com/
Have you tried them all?

AFAIK, dead pixel cannot be fixed. See: *in.youtube.com/watch?v=Or1PZUDuXJU

Yes! Actually, I meant stuck pixel in my post above!! Fixed typo!!

I think you should call the Customer Care of Viewsonic, you should get an replacement.

not sure whether they will take it for replacement. Any threshold like minimum no of pixels will be considered for any such replacement?

I got one on my fantastic lappy display & it took away all the sheen. Tried those sw... but too lazy & busy to try then for 12hrs or so.. as they say.

I just pressed on the spot... blunt press... & presto... the pixie pixel's gone. Try it.

but I wonder whether they do work for dead pixel, and i dont want to take risk affecting nearby pixels as well. plz guide me if this is safe.

considerably safe... dont poke it... just press it... slightly... sorta like.. massaging the pixel there... it worked for me.

i think you'll get a replacement for sure, as it has happened inside the warranty period.
get your monitor replaced as soon as possible.

Hi
Viewsonic comes with a 3yr warantee. My one yr old Viesonic had a problem with its video card and they replaced it without making noise about...
I think you should not lose any time to lodge a complaint !
Good luck
