Hey, I got this annoying problem which most LCD users have. The stucked/dead white pixel is only available when the background is black and it is noticeable and really ruins the look of for instant the XMB which at nights turns black!

Anyone know how I can fix this problem??? I have a samsung 32" LCD HDTV( 1366 x 768 pixels).

PLZ this really ruins the look of the picture.

Edit: my TV and according to its resolution, has 1049088 pixels and only 1 of them is noticeable.

you have a dead pixel and i dont think you can fix that, the only thing you would be able to do is return it for a new one.

Be careful lest you break more pixels.

Sorry dude...you can't fix a burnt out pixel. You either have to suck it up or get a new TV.

Usually has to be a certain number of dead pixels.. Some manufactures have a "No Dead Pixel Guaruntee " tho.

follow these steps

step 1) unplug the tv

step 2) take it to an open space preferably the back yard.

step 3) grab a very heavy object, a ledge hammer would do, but you can also use your ps3.

step 4) start smashing the tv(with the heavy object) repeteadly until the you can't see the dead pixel.

hope that helped, it helped me, but unfortunately my tv never turned on again. :cry:
