Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dead pixel?

A dead pixel is a pixel on your screen that remains unlit (black) regardless of what is being displayed. It occurs when the pixel's transistor fails completely.

What is a stuck pixel?

A stuck pixel is a pixel that remains a fixed color (usually red, green, or blue) even when the screen changes. Unlike dead pixels, stuck pixels may sometimes be fixed with software tools or gentle pressure.

Can stuck pixels be fixed?

Some stuck pixels can be fixed using software that rapidly cycles colors, or by gently massaging the area with a soft cloth. However, dead pixels typically cannot be fixed and may require screen replacement if under warranty.

Does this tool work on all devices?

Yes! This dead pixel test works on any device with a web browser — desktop monitors, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and even TVs with a browser.
