Is there any program that can be used to check my new LCD monitor for dead and / or stuck pixels?
 
doubtful. run google to check for dark dead pixels, run any game or even this website to check for light dead pixels. or you could open up paint and just flood it with whatever color you need to check for and sweep it around the screen. after about 3 weeks of ownership, i found 1 dead pixel on my 2005fpw.
 
I haven't heard of any programs, but you can set your desktop background to black, auto hide your task bar and scrupulously check it out. After that, set the background to white and check that out, too.

Hope that helps.
 
Anyone know why www.monitorsdirect.com is down? They have (had?) a calibration prog that fills your screen with the colors necessary to check, as well as a couple other tests (ghosting, color, etc).
 
i think in the sticky there's a link for a small program that will turn ur monitor white/red/blue/green/black so you can search for them easier

e1] crap...that sticky is gone i think

e2] i have the java classes if you want to compile and run them, pm me if you can't find it anywhere else
