    Hey guys,
    Dont get me wrong, I'm not bashing the Acer 8204, but there is one thing wrong. I'm sure its not inherant to all Acers, but I have a stuck pixel.
    I'm pretty sure its just stuck and not dead because it's always blue. I've tried everything, from rubbing it, to putting the little flashing program over it, to rubbing it some more, and its still blue. It's really not a big deal but it bugs me sometimes when playing something where the screen goes black. I did all the pixel tests and it seems to be the only one that goes blue when theres a black screen.
    I really dont want to give it to Acer for just ONE dead pixel, even though I have the warranty. Can anyone suggest an additional remedy that I could try?

    You can try the PSP dead pixel fixer. Didn''t work for my Dell monitor.
