My monitor LM17sb develops red dots in the grey areas which come and goes. Can I fix this

Hi!
There are 2 ways you can try to fix dead pixel: Try online tool like http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php
OR
Try this quick guide to fix dead pixels

1. Turn off your monitor.
2. Get yourself a damp cloth, so that you won't scratch the screen.
3. Apply pressure to the area where the stuck pixel is. Try not to put pressure anywhere else, as this may trigger the creation of more stuck pixels.
4. While applying pressure, turn on your computer and screen.
5. Remove pressure and the stuck pixel should be gone.

If none of these works, than you can't do anything with it.
Hope it helps

If you mean you have a pixel that is stuck on and is always red, there's nothing you can do. The only cure is to replace the display. LCD displays sometimes will have a pixel (sometimes several pixels) that doesn't work properly. The manufacturers know this, and as long the display falls within their specifications for what's acceptable, they don't see anything wrong. These specs include the total number of bad pixels, the number of bad pixels that can be clustered together, and where they can be on the display. If you have just one or only a few bad spots, they won't do anything for you. If other problems develop, such as a whole row or column goes bad or a section of the display fails, then you can see about having them fix it if the warranty is still in effect.

Could be whats known as dead pixels, this is tested be showing up a black or white screen. Microsoft paint or word will do. If an area always has dots then dead pixel. However if it doesn't constantly remain a dot then, some-thing else. Dead pixels come about due to age.
A technician will be able to diagnose your problem by performing white screen test.

I'm afraid that it sounds like the monitor wont last much longer. It could be that the control board is failin and pixels are getting stuck, but it would be more economical to replace the monitor.

Hi,

Set your resolution from "Display" which you can find in control panel. And fix the resolution at 1280 by 768.

Its a signal cable problem,between AD bord to Panel..Fix it poperly, If no then replace the LCD panel..

Robjrpena,

Did you find a solution to your "red dot" problem? I'm having the same issue :(

Thanks John

hi if its an LCD monitor then its a fault of the screen itself if its under warranty then return it. If not You could try updating video drivers but i believe this is not the problem...proberly new monitor needed im afraid

Sylvia,

It's seems you had a stuck pixal... Turn your monitor off and try this tips: Wn't work in every case. It may take a few attempts to make sure you are pressing exactly on the dead pixel.These instructions will fix "stuck" pixels, not "dead" ones, like red, blue or green. An alternative, but similar technique involves gently massaging the stuck pixel with a warm damp soft cloth.Alternative technique to tapping: Using a rounded pencil eraser, push with moderate pressure into screen at stuck pixel.
Good lucks!

That dot represent lit (stuck) red sub-pixel and if it only one that is not considerable as failure due to dead pixel warranty but you can try to solve this problem with software called screen fix. It possible that during exploitation that red dot dissapear.
Good luck
