I heard the opposite. Black ones are dead and can't be fixed. Blue, red, green... those are "stuck" and MAYBE can be fixed. As you said, you do take a risk w/ these vids. Brian… I heard the opposite.

Red, green, or blue pixels are "dead" and can never be fixed. Black or white pixels, however, are "stuck" or "frozen" and can be thawed with tool like this one. Use these tools at your own risk! These videos work LCD monitors to the bone, rapidly flipping pixels from one colour to its inverse and back again. It is VERY likely that you will break pixels instead of (or inaddition to) fixing the broken ones. Don’t confuse dead pixels with stuck pixels.

It has some white pixles ( a giant clump 1 cm by 1cm) and i tried the video. They have been steadily been getting worse and the video hasnt helped one bit. I once had it going for 48 hours even. No Progress. New screens are about $500 can and up. Almost as much as to get a new laptop with a better screen and just take that screen and put it on ur current one or if the new laptop is better than just use that. I did try it on a friend's screen however, and it worked perfectly. Therefore, i must assume that my screen has dead pixels and have to cough up $500 can. I did some more reading and found that if your pixles are stuck and either white or black colored then they are generally dead. A good solution if you are a prefectionist is to have a white desktop and just dont watch movies. I hope you have found this post useful. If you have any questions feel free to email me at vancouvercomputerprofessional@gmail.com.I should respond within a month as i am still in highschool and have exams coming up. Bye.

I wish I had a LCD screen to check it... sigh..), I can tell you where is the repeat function in MPC :) Altough I don't believe that LCD dead pixels can be fixed by a video (lol?
