My 19 inch LCD monitor has "stuck Pixels" how can fix this?

Q.

A. If your LCD screen has a stuck or dead pixel , it's usually malfunctioning because the liquid in the liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) has not covered the whole screen. This can be easily fixed.

Steps
Turn off your computer monitor.
Get yourself a damp cloth, so that you don't scratch your screen.
Apply pressure to the area where the stuck pixel is. Do not put pressure anywhere else, as this may make more stuck pixels.
While applying pressure, turn on your computer and screen.
Remove pressure and the stuck pixel should be gone. This works as the liquid in the liquid crystal has not spread into each little pixel. This liquid is used with the backlight on your monitor, allowing different amounts of light through, which creates the different colours.



Tips
Many people report success with this technique but these instructions won't work in every case.
These instructions will fix "stuck" pixels, not "dead" ones. Dead pixels appear black while stuck pixels can be one constant color like red, blue or green.
An alternative, but similar technique involves gently massaging the stuck pixel on your screen. Another method involves playing a video (available for download in external links below) which changes colors 30 times per second.
If these instructions don't work, you can hopefully get the monitor fixed through your manufacturer. Follow the link at the bottom of the page to the Tom's Hardware article on how many pixels it takes for your specific manufacturer to replace the whole monitor. If your monitor falls under the specifications of replacement, get in contact with the manufacturer to set up replacement plans.
Gently tapping the area can also work in some cases.
You can find a program for removal at this site: http://fixdeadpixels.uv.ro. Put the colour square from the "dead pixel remover" on the actual stuck pixel from your screen.



Warnings
Do not attempt to open the monitor as it will void the warranty and the manufacturer will not replace it.
Make sure you don't get any electrical equipment wet or it may break.

are LCD monitors as reliable as CRT monitors?and what is dead pixel?please read details?

Q. are LCD monitor as reliable and long lasting as CRT monitors?and what brand is the best for LCD monitors?what brand you suggest?

i have a CRT monitor which i have been using since march 2004 now i think i gonna replace it with a LCD monitor but they cost more and i am not sure are they as reliable as CRT monitors cause they look very fragile(build wise) and can't deliver(infact they can only support a lot lower resolution)same resolution compared to their CRT counterparts ( i mean if you compare same sized monitors.

hey i hear sometimes new LCDs can have dead pixel.

what are these dead pixels?how can tell whether a LCD has dead pixel or not?

and how can i be sure whether a new LCD has dead pixel or not ?

and if a new LCD that i will buy have dead pixel will the seller replace it with another one?

and is this dead pixel problem is just happens with only LCD monitors but not with CRT monitors?

thanks for your answer

A. LCD, whether in a computer monitor or a television, does not have the same life span as a CRT. I give as an example my living room television, purchased waaaaaaay back in 1988 which STILL works perfectly. I know LCDs haven't been around for 20 years yet to prove they can last that long, but who do you know who has a 10 year old working LCD?

A dead pixel is a pixel that doesn't light up. I don't know about all manufacturers, but when I worked briefly for Apple, a small number of dead pixels was considered acceptable, i.e. no refund was issued.

If you want to make sure your new LCD doesn't have a dead pixel, see it running before you purchase it. You might have to buy a demo in order to do that, though.

Check out Consumer Reports for which LCDs have good reputations. I'm buying my husband a big flat screen TV this year. I intend to read up on them first at Consumer Reports. They don't accept any advertising so their reporting is unbiased.

What is the best LCD type monitor to play PS3 on (Type, size, manufacturer)?

Q.

A. Monitor as in computer monitor? Or TV? Its best to go with a tv and not monitor (unless by monitor you mean a 40inch TV without a tuner) purely because of size. When playing for hours on a tiny monitor, you eyes will murder you.

Type. PS3 takes full advantage of 1080p so if you have the money this would be the Best. 120Hz is nice but not necessary. And make sure you get LCD, not plasma.

Size. Completely Dependant on the size of your room and how close your going to be. 40 inch looks real nice on the ps3, as does 52 although 52 can be a bit big sometimes.

Manufacturer. Assuming your getting an LCD TV, Sony, Samsung and SHARP make the best LCD pannels. I personally have a Sony and its a thing of beauty. Hope this helps

LCD monitor exploded?

Q. This was over a year ago but I was wondering what it could of been, this also happened to me on a very old CRT monitor. I bought a new LCD 19inch monitor for my computer and after 3 months of use, the screen went black and it a loud popping noise came from the back, and then each time I plugged in the power it smells so bad, just wondering what this could of been and what caused it.
It had been on for 9hours at the time, im not looking for a fix though as I got it replaced
No fire or smoke, just bad smell

A. Power transformer for the LCD likely went bad, the windings shorted out, and the transformer cooked itself.

The LCD uses a transformer and an inverter to reduce the voltage and convert it from AC to DC.

You are actually really lucky it did not catch on fire. I would have instantly called the manufacturer and complained, and reported it to the US CPSC.

Can computer Led/Lcd monitor upscale lower resolution video to fit in higher resolution screen?

Q. Ok it's probably a noob question.

As far as I know HD led/lcd tvs can upscale lower resolution game video/frames(ps3 xbox 360) to fit the whole screen.

So I need to know can computer monitor with hd resolution support (1920x1080) upscale 1360x768p resolution game video/frames to fit the whole screen?Or I need to play at native 1920x1080p resolution so that the monitor can fill the whole screen?Is there any special type or model of any Lcd/Led monitor that can upscale Pc game's frames from lower resolution to fit the whole screen?Is this any special feature for computer Led/Lcd monitor?If so what is this feature is called/named?Do different manufacturers lcd monitor have different names of this feature?

the reason I am asking is because I play at 1360x768p resolution on 16 inches lcd monitor and now I am thinking about updating to a 1920x1080p monitor.But if I play at 1360x768p resolution will there be blank spaces around the edges of monitor screen or the monitor will upscale the game frames to fit the whole screen ?
ok those blank bars do make me feel the monitor is not used to it's full potential

kind of makes the monitor feel empty and game screen with black bars also feels

quite weird to me.

So what is the aspect ratio of 1360x768 resolution 16:9 or 16:10?Will it upscale and fit to 1920x1080 resolution monitor or leave blank bars outside the game frame?

A. 1360x768 is 1.7708333 ratio. 1920x1080 is 1.777777 ratio. Very close.
16:10 is 1.6 ratio. 16:9 is 1.77777 ratio. As you can see, the 16:9 ratio screen best fits both the resolutions you are trying for.
But there is a cost to upscaling. Since you cannot manufacture greater detail out of a lower resolution signal like 1360x768, what upscaling does is to add in duplicated pixels every so often. Since there are (1920-1360 = 560) more pixels to put into the picture, that means somehow those 560 pixels are added over the spread of 1920 pixels. About every 3.42 pixels another one is added. Actually it goes 3,3,4,3,4,3,3,4,3,4 etc. As you can see, a lot of duplicates are added. The resolution is not any better. It is just expanded to cover greater area of screen. It does get fuzzier if you compare side by side. But you are supposed to view from a greater distance so you will not notice.
And, I think the standard is 1366x768, not 1360x768. That gives a 1.7786 ratio.

Original Question

What does the ration mean in regards to the specs of LCD Monitors?

Q. When researching the specifications of LCD monitors, there is a ratio there, something like 1000:1. Some are different and I was wondering what those numbers mean. Is it the quality of the screen?
Thanks

A. You usually can't believe this number (its called the contrast ratio) because the manufacturers will inflate it with their own special tests. Either way, higher is better. What it means is that the amount of light coming from a screen when it is pure white is 1000 times brighter than the light coming from it when it is pure black. That's what 1000:1 means.

What's the difference between buying an LCD monitor and an LCD Television today?

Q. Because I'm thinking of getting an LCD monitor for my computer but why not just get an LCD TV and use it as my computer monitor among other things? Whats the difference?

A. There are numerous differences between lcd monitors and lcd tv sets today. The biggest difference is resolution. LCD monitors have way higher resolution than HDTVs. Most consumer HDTVs max out at 1920x1080 pixels (1080p aka "full HD") while common monitors with screen sizes 24-30" are capable of 1900x1200 or even 2560x1600 (that's way more resolution than your common 1080p tv set). Basically, LCD monitors have better pixel pitch since they have a lot more pixels at a much smaller screen size (compare a 1920x1080 50" with a 2560x1600 resolution 30" monitor).

Next is panel technology. Most manufacturers of LCD monitors use TN panels, while almost all LCD tvs use something like MVA (not sure about ips). Basically, TN is cheap and the monitors reflect this in their prices. TN gives fast response times while MVA/IPS allows excellent color reproduction as well as preventing colors from shifting when viewed at an angle. However, there are many mva/ips LCD monitors too, it's just that they're usually much much more expensive.

LCD monitors also usually do not have tv tuners but some, like the samsung T240HD do come with a buil-in tuner and a remote control.

Before buying, try to research first on the LCD tv's input lag and response times, since these will be the factors most readily apparent in everyday computer use.

i need a SLR digital camera that i can shoot a subject while viewing it on the LCD monitor?

Q. i need a SLR digital camera that i can shoot a subject while viewing it on the LCD monitor. can you suggest me some manufacturer and models?

A. Hi,

The Sony Alpha series has this. Canon and Nikon need to flip the mirror up to refocus, so the screen goes blank for a short time. Sony uses a second sensor to focus - so you can view all the time.

You should ask yourself why you want this though. Live view is good for composition and getting horizons horizontal, but DSLR's are heavy, and holding it to your eye/face makes sure it is steady. That's why so many amateur videos look as if they were made by a drunk - it is just too difficult to hold at arms length.

Cheers
Charles
