Dead Pixel Buddy, and Dead Pixel Fixer

[Broni]

Dead Pixel Buddy is a small, standalone, freeware tool designed to help you detect dead pixels on LCD screens. There are many types of dead pixels. Some dead pixels are only visible when the screen is totally black, white or a certain color passes over it. Dead Pixel Buddy has buttons which you can press that will fill the screen with a certain color allowing you to detect them easier. It also has a time cycle feature where the fullscreen color cycles between the colors so you can test all colors in one go.

Dead Pixel Fixer is a very small, stand alone, portable tool that is based on the concept that flashing RGB colors over a dead or stuck pixel will “unstick” it. Many technicians have had great success with this tool.

To use, just run the EXE, set the amount of time you want it to run (a few hours is good) and click one of the Small, Medium and Large buttons.
These buttons create an appropriately sized window that flashes the RGB colors which you should put over the location of the dead pixel and leave there for a few hours.

Warning: Be very careful when using this tool as it can trigger epilepsy attacks. If you use it onsite make sure noone in the house/business is a epileptic.

Bump.
Anyone tried this on a projector? heard of anyone who has?

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

A projector? Projectors don't have pixels......

If there is a problem, try cleaning the lens yet?

Projectors don't have pixels......

Most of them do, actually. LCD and DLP projector resolutions include SVGA (800×600 pixels), XGA (1024×768 pixels), 720p (1280×720 pixels), and 1080p (1920×1080 pixels). LCD panels are very small versions of the ones you see in flat screen monitors and TVs, and are capable of showing dead or stuck pixels just like their big brothers. Makers apply dead pixel policies to projectors just like they do for monitors and TVs.

Out of all the projector technologies available, in fact, only the ones with 3 CRTs do not have individually addressable "pixels" in the display device hardware, although (of course) the signal as created in the computer is made up of pixels whatever the type of display.
