    after the computer starts up lines appear on the right side. green, red blue, and yellow. they are about a pixels in lengths each. I was ok with them there, but today a new one has appeared on the right side. The pixels only show up on my xps screen any other monitor/tv there aren't any. the lines aren't able to see when there is a white background. wanted to know if its hardwear/softwear. and if its fixable.

    If you still have warranty, just get DELL to replace the display for you. If not, there's a couple of methods you could try:

    wikihow.com/Fix-a-Stuck-Pixel-on-an-LCD-Monitor

    I would start with the software method. I cannot guarantee that any of this will work, nor be held responsible if it makes things worse (be sure to read the disclaimers on that page as well) :cool:

    Good luck, hope it clears out! :)
