Strange pixel but not a dead pixel

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hi

My screen has a like a brown wierd pixel on it but it's not like a dead pixel because as you probably know dead pixels are like a bright fluorescent green which this is not it's more a light brown colour. Is this normal for a screen, because I once on an old screen which a small fly got into and I could see it like pressed against the screen. I dont think this brown mark is something that got into the screen i'm pretty sure it's like a discoloured pixel. I can hardly see it on the desktop and it hardly visible at all while gaming, I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem, what is it and is it normal.

Thanks

You could try getting a gif of static snow and try forcing the pixel out, I never had any luck with it but you might
