What to Look For

Dead Pixel

A pixel that remains black regardless of what color is displayed. This type of pixel cannot be fixed and is usually a hardware defect.

Stuck Pixel

A pixel that always displays a single color (such as red, green, or blue). Sometimes this can be fixed with pixel repair tools.

Hot Pixel

A pixel that appears abnormally bright on dark backgrounds. This is less common but still indicates a display issue.
