Hey,
got my new tv and its fine.. as soon as i turn it though, 1 bright pink dead pixel.. i know theres vids on youtube of flashing colours that u play on the screen and are supposed 2 get rid of it, but i hear that there are cd's that can fix this? its only 1 pixel... any help? cheers.

never heard of that (the cd thing i mean).
If i couldnt sort it id just send it back because it may happen again.

im not 100% sure on the cd, i think it just cleans the inside of the screen i dont know.. is there any way that anyone can think of to fix this 1 annoying as shit pixel.

The CD is also the flashing color pattern. All it does is tries to rapidly change the color of the pixel so it becomes "unstuck". It's not an actual dead pixel, so there's a chance of recovering it.

Hope the explanation helps some . . .

where do i get this cd from? how much they cost approx.? or can i make my own cd and do this?

I dont know about the cd, but look up massaging the dead pixel.

then how do i get this stuck/dead pixel out.. its not noticeable really when i play games.. just really annoying because it sticks out when i watch tv.

That was said perfectly. I think there is an ISO you can download and burn for free somewhere.

Then play the burned dvd you made and see if it gets the pixel unstuck.

Yea, I know they have them on YouTube or your LCD monitors etc.

YouTube - STUCK PIXEL REMOVER

Like that.

Where the hell did you hear that? First off, it's a "stuck" pixel. Two, selectively fading them would be nearly impossible. The problem is that the pixel is intermittent and needs to be treated.

You don't have to buy one even really. There's a couple solutions.

Easiest solution, IMO, is if it's an LCD just hook up dual displays to your PC if you can. Then, DL the video for fixing PSP stuck pixels or a java applet that has the flashing (search "stuck pixel fixer" in google).

If that's too much work, go to Best Buy and say you bought a TV and it has a stuck pixel and need the pixel fixing disc.

If that doesn't work, DL the stuck pixel video and burn it to a DVD. Zoom so it fills the whole screen and play the disc for a few hours.

All else fails, buy a disc with it on it here for $40.

Still, there's plenty of ways about getting or making your own.

Lastly, if the flashing method doesn't work . . . you MAY want to try the pressure methods . . . though not whole heartedly suggestible.
