Couple of friends have complained to me that their newly bought LCD monitors having few red and green spots. And they’re pretty frustrated especially when having few spots only on their LCD monitor. As some vendors only allow you to return or exchange for a new one if the LCD monitor has more than certain number of spots. Anyway, it seems there are two very simple online tools to fix these spots which are contributed by dead pixels. And to detect the dead pixels on the LCD before you carry the LCD screen out of the vendor’s shop.
