FAQ

Dead Pixel Test — Common Questions

Everything you need to know about dead pixels, stuck pixels, and how to test for them.

Open this dead pixel test page, tap "Start Full-Screen Test", and cycle through the full-screen solid colors. Look closely at each color — dead pixels appear as black dots on bright colors, while stuck pixels stay a single color on every screen. Use the arrow keys or tap/swipe to advance through colors.

A dead pixel stays completely black on every color because it receives no power. A stuck pixel remains permanently lit in one color (red, green, or blue) regardless of what the screen should display. This dead pixel test helps you spot both by showing pure solid colors that make any anomaly stand out.

Dead pixels (black) are usually permanent hardware failures, but stuck pixels (colored) can sometimes be revived by rapidly flashing colors over them for several minutes — a technique known as pixel fixing. Some monitors and phones include a built-in pixel refresh feature. If the pixel is truly dead, a screen replacement may be needed.

True Tone and Night Mode alter the color temperature and brightness of your display, which can mask subtle pixel defects or make colors appear inaccurate. For a reliable dead pixel test, disable both features and set brightness to maximum so the colors are shown as pure as possible.
