Hi again.

Yes, I am having more technical problems, and hopefully GW has a suitable answer. I bought an LG LCD TV from Bestbuy last year, and it has a green stuck pixel in the bottom-left corner. I'm pretty sure that the manufacturer warranty will not cover it, since there needs to be a certain number of pixels stuck/dead overall or in a certain proximity; since I have 1 stuck pixel, my case is not a valid one. I don't think I purchased the Bestbuy warranty, either. Does anyone here have solutions that have worked for them concerning stuck pixels? I tried to apply pressure to it, but that did not work. There are certain applications such as "JScreenfix" that you can run on a Monitor to remedy the problem, is there anyway I can put this software on a DVD so it's viewable on my screen? I was not able to connect the TV to the computer, all I got was "no signal" each time. Also, I tried going online with my Wii to a video that would fix the problem such as on youtube, but there were black bars on each side of my screen, meaning that the youtube video did not stretch far enough to reach the pixel. Any solutions are very much appreciated, thanks!

You can't revive a dead pixel, just be glad it's in the corner.

It's stuck, not dead.

From wikipedia:

Stuck pixels are not guaranteed to be correctable, and can remain faulty for the life of the monitor, however might be fixed by flashing numerous colors with a very rapid intensity.

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!

Is anybody reading my post at all? This is on an LCD television. I am quite aware of the presence of such applications, the dilemma is how to run them on my TV? Besides that, any other solutions?

EDIT: Ok, didn't mean to come off like that; I notice that there seems to be something about TVs there. I will check it out and *hopefully* I don't have to purchase anything.

EDIT2: It seems I have to purchase their DVD for TVs. Does anyone else have an application I can use for free on a TV?

What videocard do you have? Some of them have s-video / rca outputs you can plug in a normal TV. I know mine does.
Play Raimond Ex (if you haven't already)


I'll not TAKE ANYTHING you write like this seriously because it looks dumb

I have an ATI Radeon x1900 GT. I don't know much about outputs, but there is a DVI cable running from my monitor to my computer.

If you look at the JScreenFix page, near the bottom, there is a dvd image you can burn yourself

alternatively, you should be able to hook the TV to the computer and figure out how to get it working with some patience
