Kill. Dead. Pixel.

Kill Dead Pixel is a new game where you play a lowly computer user who found a dead pixel on his LCD monitor and wants to try fixing it. Actually, sorry, it’s not a game, but pretty much just reality. So if you’re in the position above and want to try fixing a dead pixel, give this site a try. Simply drag the graphic to the dead pixel and leave it for an hour. If it doesn’t work, go in full screen mode and try it out for 12 hours. I sadly have no dead pixels to tell you if this works or not, but if any of you have use for this and try it out, let us know how it goes. Now I just need to figure out if killing a dead pixel means it’s now a brain-eating undead zombie pixel.

Try It.

    Thanks for the info. Stuck, not dead. I was going with what the site said.

    The ancient HD code to do something that really doesn’t mean anything but is rather symbolic.
