Super Twisted

[arneson]

I bought an lcd tv and in the lower right corner is one bright white pixel.
I've just realized that on a normal tv almost everything at the bottem is dark, a suit, a desk, the ground, whatever.
So this dot is just staring at me.
I just read that if you apply gentle pressure on that pixel and power the screen it may come back to life? Something about the liquid filling in?
I would be satisfied just to turn it on so it was black or green or anything but bright.
Ever heard of bad pixels comming on?

Re: Super Twisted

i had an LCD monitor that had a stuck on pixel. i pressed on it and it worked...sorta. it wasn't just white. it would do dark shades, but it wasn't 100%.

Re: Super Twisted

Don't bank on it, but I have read where ppl use an eraser covered with several layers of polishing cloth to rub the pixel area. Some got a result w/o damaging the screen because I think it has to be rubbed pretty hard.

Give it a few days as I'm sure some here can offer more than I have.

This is a used or repaired LCD you have? So no return or warrenty? How about a tiny dot of dark paint over the pixel.

Yes it was an Ebay as is, Panasonic 13' .
Nice for mounting in kitchen.
Funny to think I could erase a pixel with a pencil...
Wife may laugh at me.

Re: Super Twisted

Let her laugh. The eraser will still be firm enough to exert pressure on that tiny area but soft enough not to cause damage. Guys use a new eraser but do cover it with polishing cloth.

Let us know how it goes
