    Your out of luck if it's just one pixel. I think it's something like 3 bright pixels, 7 dead pixels or 3 pixels within a 2" radius. You should try running an RGB color flashing video. If it's just a stuck pixel, then maybe the flashing of bright colors will fix it. Run it for around 12 hours.

    finding a single dead pixel is close to impossible... you can usually only seem them with the naked eye if there are more than a few right next to each other. I agree with Jason in that stuck pixels are very different than dead pixels... you can't bring back dead pixels...... but stuck can sometimes be massaged out.

    But a single red pixel on a screen with more than 1,000 pixels per square inch... those are good odds.
