    please let me know how it goes for you and if you find something that works.

    I have two dead pixels on mine, tried the "pixel fixers" that flash a lot of colors constantly but they didn't work. (tried em for 20 mins though, not more than that).

    Pixel fixers only work on stuck pixels. And even then, the odds of repairing a stuck pixel is low.

    ok i will correct myself

    one is a dead pixel, the other one is stuck on grayish


    If you divide the screen in quadrants with the left top corner one being 1 and numbering them clockwise, my problem pixels are both in the lower right hand side of quadrant 2.


    edit: i also have to say, it's easy to forget they're there. I find it best just to not try to think of them. The small dot size makes them harder to spot so it's not that bad.

    yeah, i think there is no solution. But the best think of the high resolution in a small display, is that is a little hard to see the dead pixel. But mine`s in the center.
