    As for the stuck pixel, you still have a good chance of it going back to normal. Either do what Eddie says, 'massage' it a bit, or try that PSP oriented video that flashes colours. Make sure you DON'T watch it....sure pretty colours, but waking up with a pool of saliva foam is no fun :)

    Indeed! I watched that clip for a short while and got a pretty bad headache.
    As for the video itself...

    congrats, and don't forget the HDD benchmark ;), the one posted as part of abaxter's dell review seems sweet! I am just wondering if the lower densities might run slower :( hopefully not, I don't feel like paying the extra to go from 60 to 100GB

    My first post LOL !

    My Nikon camera had 3 dead pixels, there is a program written by a Russian progammer, not endorsed by Nikon, that corrected the issue, It is also a run at your own risk kinda thing.

    My Olympus digital has a pixel remapping feature built into the firmware that accomplishes the same thing.

    I wonder if a program like the one for my Nikon could be written for LCD screens ?

    I'm thinking outloud here, cause I am not familiar with LCD screens, at least not until my new Z70va gets here next week!!! YAY

    i read a post that someone can try an application to fix the dead pixel, i don't still use it before. You can try, might work. Anyone heard this before??
