A dead pixel is a pixel on a screen that remains a fixed color regardless of the image displayed. It can be a bright pixel (always lit), a dark pixel (always off), or a stuck pixel (showing one color).
Physical dead pixels are usually permanent. However, some stuck pixels may be revived by rapidly cycling through colors. Open a new browser window with this tool and quickly switch between colors a few times.
ISO standards allow a certain number of dead pixels depending on the display class (typically 3-5 per million pixels). Professional monitors aim for zero dead pixels. Contact your manufacturer if you're concerned.
Test in a dimly lit environment, set brightness to 50-80%, and inspect the screen from 30-50cm distance. Check black background for bright pixels and white background for dark pixels.
