    I have two stuck pixels on My M1730 samsung LCD and I finally managed to get rid of one with - http://killdeadpixel.com/ - :rolleyes:
    I ran it for about 4 hours and the dead pixel is gone...... :D :D :D
    Now I have one more to cure, I will let you know how it goes,

    If you have stuck pixels, it's really worth a try

    Good to hear that it works. A few other tools are JScreen (or JScreenFix...cannot remember) and Dead Pixel Buddy. Just in case someone wants to try another tool (or you want to vasvas).

    LOL... that thing's hilarious.

    I don't have any dead pixels, so I can't test it.

    just a reminder, this is for stuck pixels (stuck on a color) if it is black it is usually dead which cannot be fixed

    I have a gray pixel. Actually it looks like gray in perhaps 9 pixels around, with the center one being the darkest gray. It really looks like someone touched it to a pencil, and it just appeared one day. Really bizarre.

    Have a white dead/stuck pixel on my m1330 - I think it's called "spot" - will try it, too.
