Fix stuck pixels with rapid colour flashing

A stuck subpixel can sometimes be freed by rapidly cycling colours for 10–30 minutes. Warning: this flashes quickly.

How the fixer works

Rapid changes exercise the liquid crystal of the stuck subpixel and can release it.

Gentle pressure method

Some people press gently with a soft cloth over the pixel while the screen is off; risky, so be careful or avoid.

Photosensitive epilepsy warning

Flashing images can trigger seizures.
