234466 2004-05-05 00:34:00 Technically it could be, but you would need to get access to the raw pixel addessing row and column, and that is usually not available as its hard connected to the display interface mux'ing hardware.

A sledgehammer will work I am told?

234468 2004-05-05 06:42:00 What actually happens when a pixel dies? Nothing can fix it? Is it dead for good? PoWa (203)
234469 2004-05-05 06:52:00 Powa you get two types of problems with TFT monitor pixels. Stuck on to either red, blue or green or if your really lucky deceased with the a fixed gaze from the floro that provides the light source for the monitor.

I've never heard of it being fixed and in fact in mid to lower range monitors a certain number of dodgy pixels are allowed to leave the factory. Philips business grade monitors for eg have a no dead/stuck pixel guarantee so I guess it pays to check the manufacturers info before purchasing on what their pixel policy is.
