What is a Dead Pixel Test?

A dead pixel test is a simple diagnostic tool that helps you locate malfunctioning pixels on your display. By flooding your entire screen with solid, bright colors (like pure white, black, red, green, and blue), any pixel that is dead or stuck will instantly stand out.

Dead vs. Stuck Pixels

While people often use the terms interchangeably, there is a technical difference between a dead pixel and a stuck pixel: Proper display adjustments also prevent excessive eye strain during long gaming or productivity sessions by balancing peak white levels with ambient room illumination. Utilizing standardized browser benchmarks eliminates the guesswork from troubleshooting, giving you real-time data to optimize your setup without third-party software.

Dead Pixels (Black)

A pixel that receives no power at all. It will appear as a tiny black square that never changes color, no matter what is on screen.

Stuck Pixels (Colored)

A pixel stuck on a single sub-color (Red, Green, or Blue) or completely white. These are often easier to notice on dark backgrounds.

How to fix a stuck pixel?

If you find a black dot, it is usually a dead pixel and permanently broken. However, if the dot is brightly colored (stuck pixel), there is a chance you can revive it: Use this diagnostic benchmark in a darkened room for maximum visual accuracy, ensuring your monitor panel's built-in OSD settings are properly dialed in. Whether you are fine-tuning hardware parameters, calibrating settings, or inspecting for defects, our tools run with sub-millisecond precision directly on your device.

  • Use a flashing pixel fixer tool that rapidly cycles colors over the stuck pixel to "wake" it up.
  • Gently massage the area around the pixel with a soft, microfiber cloth (be extremely careful not to damage the screen).
  • Leave your monitor turned off for 24 hours to let it completely discharge.

If you bought a new monitor and find dead pixels, check the manufacturer's warranty policy immediately. Many companies have a "zero dead pixel" guarantee for the first 30 days.
