Dead pixel fixer?

KEVIN 45 · 12-23-2006, 04:05 PM

Well about a couple weeks ago I purchase two LTV-32w6 Westinghouse HDTV's. Within those couple of weeks both of them each got one dead pixel. It does seem like a lot, but it's discouraging to know that I already have dead pixels within a few weeks of purchase.

So on another note, I was wondering if any of you know a good download that fixes dead pixels. If so when I leave it on all night will it burn in an image. Any help is welcome though, I just am not in the mood to send it in and get repaired. That's my last resort right now.

You can't fix dead pixels.

I'm assuming there's a difference between stuck pixels and dead pixels...correct?

Stuck versus dead pixels
Stuck pixels are similar to (and often falsely labeled as) a dead pixel, whose 3 sub-pixels are permanently off, producing a permanently black pixel. Dead pixels can result from similar manufacturing anomalies as stuck pixels, but may also occur from a non-functioning transistor resulting in complete lack of power to the pixel. Dead pixels are much less likely to correct themselves over time or repaired through any of several popular methods.

Thanks alot for the replies. I'll try all of those things out, hopefully will get good results. If not I may as well start packing them up to send them in for a fix or something.
