What Is a Dead Pixel?

A dead pixel is a defective pixel on a display that no longer functions correctly. It typically appears as a small black dot that remains visible regardless of the color displayed on the screen.

Dead pixels can occur due to manufacturing defects, physical damage, or normal wear over time. They are most noticeable when viewing solid color backgrounds.

What Is a Stuck Pixel?

A stuck pixel differs from a dead pixel because it remains fixed on a particular color, such as red, green, blue, or white. Unlike dead pixels, stuck pixels may sometimes be corrected using pixel repair techniques or specialized software.

Running a dead pixel test helps distinguish between dead and stuck pixels.

What is the difference between a dead pixel and a stuck pixel?

A dead pixel remains permanently black, while a stuck pixel displays a constant color such as red, green, blue, or white.

True dead pixels are usually permanent and cannot be repaired. Stuck pixels may sometimes be recoverable.

Display solid colors in fullscreen mode and inspect the screen carefully for abnormal pixels.
