Pixel Fixer Settings

Recommended Duration:: 10-30 minutes

For stubborn pixels, run for 1-2 hours or overnight.

How to Use the Pixel Fixer

1

First, locate your stuck pixel using our Black Screen or White Screen tools.

2

Position the affected pixel area in the center of your screen.

3

Choose your speed (start with Normal) and click "Start Pixel Fixer".

4

Let it run for 10-30 minutes. Check progress, then repeat if needed.

Understanding Dead & Stuck Pixels

Dead Pixels

A dead pixel is permanently off and appears as a tiny black dot on your screen. This occurs when the transistor controlling that pixel has completely failed. Dead pixels are usually permanent and cannot be fixed with software. However, sometimes what appears to be a dead pixel is actually a stuck pixel in the "off" state.

Stuck Pixels

A stuck pixel is frozen on one color (usually red, green, or blue) and appears as a bright dot. This happens when the liquid crystal in that pixel gets "stuck" in one position. Stuck pixels can often be fixed using rapid color cycling, which exercises the liquid crystal and may help it return to normal operation.

How Does Pixel Fixer Work?

The Pixel Fixer rapidly cycles through different colors (red, green, blue, white, black, and more) at high speed. This creates rapid electrical state changes in the liquid crystal display. For stuck pixels, this "exercise" can help the liquid crystal return to its normal, responsive state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tool damage my monitor?
No, this tool is completely safe for your monitor. It simply displays colors in your browser, which is no different from watching a video or playing a game. Modern LCD and OLED panels are designed to handle rapid color changes.
How long should I run the pixel fixer?
Start with 10-30 minutes and check for improvement. If you see partial progress, continue for 1-2 hours. For stubborn stuck pixels, some users run the fixer overnight (8+ hours). Take breaks if you notice eye strain.
Does this work on dead pixels?
True dead pixels (where the transistor has completely failed) cannot be fixed with software. However, many pixels that appear "dead" are actually stuck in the off position and may respond to color cycling. It's worth trying before assuming the pixel is permanently dead.
Should I use pressure or massage the pixel?
Some users report success combining color cycling with gentle pressure on the stuck pixel area using a soft cloth. However, be extremely careful - too much pressure can damage the LCD panel and create more dead pixels. We recommend trying the software method first.

Need to detect pixels first?

Use our Black Screen to find stuck pixels (bright dots) or White Screen to find dead pixels (dark dots).

Accurate identification helps you know if the pixel fixer will work!
