First, there is something you need to know.

What's the dead pixel (stuck pixels)?

Actually, the reason of dead pixels (stuck pixels) comes down to the defects of LCD screen's production, LCD is made up of lots of pixels which create the images you see on your screen. Here we'd like to explain the differences between the dead pixels and the stuck pixels. A stuck pixel will appear in any of the colors that its three subpixels (red, yellow and blue) can form, depending on their functionality and brightness. In a dead pixel, none of the subpixels are being lit, which will make the pixel appear black, these dead pixels are beyond repairable in most cases. However, even a black pixel may just be stuck.
