So recently I purchased a BenQ G2400W. My excitement of getting a new monitor was ruined by the realization that I have one stuck pixel in the middle section of the monitor.

I am wondering what are some of the experiences by other people. I also thought it might give us some insight how common problems are with some manufacturers. Please post your experiences using the formating below.

Monitor: BenQ G2400W
Size: 24
Pixel Problem Count: 1
Pixel Problem Type: Stuck
Color: Red
Position: Center Cube
Problem Start: Out of Box

Also, include how much you were bothered by the dead/stuck pixel. I am a bit upset. I would say that the high of purchasing a new toy was severely deflated with the dead pixel. Especially since my 19 and 22 Viewsonic had 0 flaws.
 
Well, with my dell 2407wfp I have one stuck red in the mid lower right. Also another leaking white subpixel when against darks.

This monitor was the replacement of an RMA in which there was a entire line stuck green and another red. This experience (along with some laptops in the past) gave me the impression that they are a fact of not too far odds. Was literally jumping with joy today when two LG245W came in flawless. Still pixels can get stuck or die with time so I'm still praying it holds.
 
Dam, I guess a lot less people are bothered with dead pixels than I thought.

Guess I will keep my mouth shut.

Also the executives that set the 8 dead pixel policy should be forced to work on screens with a couple of stuck bright pixels on their screens.

Thanks for letting me vent.
 
I'we been trying the massage method and it's not working for me. Is there any special technique that I should be using?
 
Ok, it finally worked. I tried a different approach. I used the program above to project a one colored surface on the whole screen. Then, instead of massaging the stuck pixel itself I started doing small and then larger and larger circles around the dead pixel. I applied very light pressure. At certain points I noticed that the pixel would flicker. This would happened if I applied light presure about an inch away from the actual dead pixel at 2, 3, 5, and 7 o'clock. Once I found a spot where I would apply the pressure and the pixel would stay on I started to turn the monitor on/off untill the pixel stayed on permanetly. This has worked this far. The pixel is working and it appears fixed. I will post if it goes out again. I hope this helps someone else.
