A customer reports that specific points on their LCD monitor's display constantly show black or the same color even when the screen image changes. These points do not affect the adjacent pixels. What is the BEST course of action to resolve this type of display issue?
Contact the manufacturer for a warranty repair or replacement if the number of dead pixels exceeds the manufacturer's acceptable range.
Perform a software or driver update for the graphics card or monitor.
Check the graphics card settings to see if it's causing the display issue.
Attempt to repair each affected pixel by applying pressure to the screen or using pixel correction software.
Dead pixels on an LCD screen are individual pixels that no longer function correctly and do not change color to match the image displayed on the screen. In some cases, a few dead pixels are considered to be a characteristic of LCD production and may not be treated as a warranty issue. However, if a device is under warranty and has more than an acceptable number of dead pixels, based on the manufacturer's dead pixel policy, a warranty repair or replacement is the most suitable solution. Software or driver updates are unlikely to fix a dead pixel, as it is a physical malfunction of the display. Attempting to physically repair the pixels, unless professionally qualified, can lead to further damage. Checking graphics card settings would not address dead pixels on the display since this is not a software or configuration issue.
