For MONTHS I have had one side of my screen slightly darker. I thought I had to throw away the TV or replace a component. It dawned on me maybe its screen burn in and I cant believe it!!!! This fixed my display! Thank you so much!
Se me calló mi iPhone y se comenzaron a hacer pequeñas líneas negras en la parte superior izquierda, entré en pánico y comencé a buscar la solución, después de varias horas encontré estos videos y los e puesto por aproximadamente 2 horas diarias, hoy es el tercer día y si se estan quitando las líneas negras aunque es muy tardado ya que al parecer los píxeles ya estaban muertos( completamente negros) y poco a poco van teniendo color Al cabo de unas horas ya están funcionando bien Gracias ✨👌
Hey, is this only for dead pixels from screens that used to function perfectly? I ordered a 2k Samsung monitor, arrived today and seems to have 3 dead pixels (black), will this help?
Hey i have a samsung q6 fn 4k tv and i see a very little white pixel always around the top right corner. It is like i see red green and blue depending on the angle i view it on. It is very annoying. Do you thnk it is a stuck pixel?
Daniel Kiss - 2018 - Q6F QLED 4K right ? In answer to your question - YES - all the hallmarks. Just remember that ANY NEW PURCHASED TV monitor or computer screen CAN HAVE Dead Pixels on arrival - period ! You have to remember Dead Pixels can happen on ANY NEW SCREEN - MANUFACTURES STATE that if only less then 10% of the actual pixels then this is normal ! - gone are the days of the Good Old Plasma Screen Technology which as you will remember cost anything from £2K to £6K and they were stunning - screens or monitors now are built on price - unless the end consumer spends a shed load of money then the manufactures want screens / monitors to last about 2 years - that said I think you will agree you can buy a screen for a little as £65.00 ! - enough said. Things we suggest you do when running this software to try to mend long term Dead Pixels that have been their ages: One of the best things you can do - is put a towel or cloth over the front of the screen ( keeping all the air ventilation holes at the rear unblocked - DO NOT COVER THESE UP ) - and run the program. Ensure you are running at true 4K or 5K HD - that said some computer systems running from a ISP router will down grade and run at a mere 1080P - If you are streaming from your router DIRECT to the TV monitor then you should get 4K or 5K HD. This you can tell by looking closely at the screen. Things should be VERY SHARP & CRISP- as in Blu-Ray or a HD Blu-ray disc. Its worth checking the above in detail before running. Now its worth noting our: "INTERSTELLAR" edition MK3b or the "SUPERNOVA" edition MK3 - ULTIMATE FIX should fix Dead Stuck Pixels - The INTERSTELLAR" edition MK3b is the latest version released from our studos. BOTH the "INTERSTELLAR" & "SUPERNOVA" has double the amount of data in the program - both should sort out the problem but the MK3b is a cut above the rest. That said - it will depend on how long the faults or glitch has been present in the screen - dead pixels can grow to adjacent units - the cure is to see them and so something about them as soon as possible. We have tried our hardest with what we know and put it all together in these 2 programs - they are free to use after all. As you can see with other peoples comments - they can work and do - you just have to persevere - when you have run the program say over a week at different intervals - run a high quality Blu-Ray through the system - ensure you have a good quality HDMI input to obtain the highest quality data input. 1) DARK DOT DEFECTS on a screen or monitor: A Dark dot defect is usually caused by a transistor in the transparent electrode layer that is stuck "on" for TN panels or "off" for MVA/PVA and IPS panels. In that state, the transistor places the liquid crystal material in such a way that no light ever passes through to the RGB layer of the display. 2) BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS on a screen or monitor: Hundreds of hot pixels appear in a 32-minute long exposure photograph taken in virtual darkness. Note: These must be viewed at full size in order to see them A bright dot defect is a group of 3 sub-pixels (one pixel) all of whose transistors are "off" for TN panels or stuck "on" for MVA/PVA panels. This allows all light to pass through to the RGB layer, creating a bright white pixel that is always on. This is commonly known in the industry as a "hot pixel". 3) PARTIAL SUB-PIXEL DEFECTS on a screen or monitor: A partial sub-pixel defect is a manufacturing defect in which the RGB film layer was not cut properly. 4) TAPE AUTOMATED BONDING (TAB) faults: A TAB fault is caused by a connection failure from the TAB that connects the transparent electrode layers to the video driver board of an LCD. It is worth noting: TAB is one of several methods employed in the LCD-manufacturing process to electrically connect hundreds of signal paths going to the rows and columns of electrodes in layer 6 (the transparent electrode layer) in the LCD to the video IC's on the driver board that drives these electrodes. If an LCD is subjected to physical shock, this could cause one or more TAB connections to fail inside the display. This failure is often caused by horizontally flexing the chassis (e.g., while wall-mounting or transporting a display face up/down) or simple failure of the adhesive holding the TAB against the glass. TAB faults require replacement of the LCD module itself. If these connections were to fail, the effect would be that an entire row or column of pixels would fail to activate. This causes a horizontal or vertical black line to appear on the display while the rest of the display would appear normal. The horizontal failure runs from edge-to-edge; the vertical failure runs from top-to-bottom. 5) COLD START: The Cold start Commonly called a cold start fault, another type of TAB failure shows up when the display has been turned off long enough for the LCD to cool down or shrink enough so the bond is in open circuit. This fault is often seen as a ghosting double, or triple, image on one side of the display, with shadowing or dulling of the other part of the screen. A common test for this problem is to use a 50% and a 75% grey test signal. The fault often disappears as the LCD sheet heats up and expands into the frame; flexing the TV when this is happening will immediately reveal if this is a TAB fault. Cold start TAB faults tend to get worse, as the regular heating and cooling of the bond, from powering the display on and off, causes further cracking. Hardware manufacturers and distributors tend to claim that TAB faults, as opposed to other physical defects that may be found in an LCD, do not allow for repair. 6) STUCK SUB-PIXELS: A stuck sub-pixel is a pixel that is always "on". This is usually caused by a transistor that is not getting any power, and is therefore continuously allowing light at that point to pass through to the RGB layer. This means that any given pixel will stay red, blue, or green, and will not change when attempting to display an image. These pixels may only show up using certain applications, or they may be on all of the time. 7) STUCK VERSUS DEAD PIXELS: These are often incorrectly referred to as "Dead Pixels", which have a similar appearance. In a Dead Pixel, all three sub-pixels are permanently off, producing a pixel which is permanently black. Dead pixels can result from similar manufacturing anomalies as stuck pixels, but may also occur from a non-functioning transistor resulting in complete lack of power to the pixel. Dead pixels are much less likely to correct themselves over time or be repaired through any of several popular methods. Stuck pixels, unlike Dead Pixels, have been reported by LCD screen owners to disappear, and there are several popular methods purported to fix them, such as gently rubbing the screen (in an attempt to reset the pixel), cycling the color value of the stuck pixel rapidly (in other words, flashing bright colors on the screen), or simply tolerating the stuck pixel until it disappears (which can take anywhere from a day to years).

I have search for an answer to this question in all of the remove stuck pixel videos. I did not find any answer. I guess the answer is to set the brightness /oled lamp to maximum to generate as much heat as possible during the video duration.
Will this one work for an 8k TV? I have the Q800T, 75 inches and it has a barely visible black spot in the lower right side... that’s all I can look at now, of course :(
I know the feeling. I read the samsung website and it says that stuck and dead led are normal specifications. What a world were living in where someone can buy a fricken 3000$ tv and they tell you it's normal that there is a bad led. I can't even sleep I'm so tired of life.
Hello IDP. I have a brand new OLED LG C9 of 2019. I bought the TV one week ago and I’ve already noticed a black dead pixel. I played your older video and it fixed the problem. But another black dead pixel came up. So, I’m playing this video right now. Is this a temporary solution or it can really solve the problem? Do you think it’s normal an one week TV with this problem? It’s better to exchange the TV by a new one? Sorry about the doubts. I’m very sad. I spent soo much money on TV and there is this problem! Thank you very much.
Hi Andre Melo - we are sorry to hear this To answer your questions: 1) Both our Dead Pixel programs should fix any problems you have - that said the MK3b is way better at the job 2) It should solve the problem - but you have to work at it ( see notes ) 3) We dont think any manufacture will exchange - see link below YES it will - read the below comments we have left others - it explains things in detail We wish you luck in your quest to fix your problem ( remember new TV monitors can arrive from the manufactures with a percentage allowed of Dead pixels - they allow for this ) KNOW YOUR FACTS ! - USEFUL Link: www.tested.com/tech/1337-we-uncover-the-dead-pixel-policies-for-every-major-lcd-maker/
our Techie guy suggests that a program such as ours ( and yes there are a few now on the market - some good - some not so good ) he runs it on his own set at home every 4 months - you have to remember dead pixels can happen on even a new screen - manufactures state that if only less then 10% of the actual pixels then this is normal - gone are the days of the Plasma screen which as you will remember cost anything from £2K to £6K and they were stunning - screens or monitors now are built on price - unless the end consumer spends a shed load of money then the manufactures want screens / monitors to last about 2 years - that said I think you will agree you can buy a screen for a little as £65.00 !!!! - enough said. To answer your later question - we suggest running it for 2 hours - ( read the other comments we have left folk ) such as a cloth or towel over the front screen to excite the Dead Pixels back into life - NOTE: DO NOT COVER UP ANY VENTILATION OR COOLING VENTS - all you are trying to do is make the Front Screen warmer with a cloth over it which will help in your quest. We wish you luck and we do hope this program help you - one last thing - try to as often as you can to stream a BluRay disc on film - as these run at a high definition this will help also - normal TV programs do not push the processors at all and thats one reason Dead Pixels form. Just make sure IF YOU STREAM - ensure it's at a full 4K resolution - 1080p or even 2K will not do the trick - that said 4K or even better 5K would shift the pixels back into life - note: that depending how long the Dead Pixel's have been dormant - they will take time to "Awake" - keep trying and they can return. With regards to Blu-Ray - if anyone else reads this post - just ensure you have a good quality HDMI lead - the Data Flow is what really counts - the whole idea is to push so much data to the Mother Board & Chips - things have to happen FAST and bring back from the dead. However some cheap cables fail to deliver a signal at all between a source and a display. In other words, while we are seriously unconvinced that pricey HDMIs can improve picture and sound quality, it is possible for some HDMI cables to just not deliver enough digital information to enable a display to actually produce a picture at all. With this in mind there is one basic level of HDMI cable specification it is actually worth trying to make sure you get. High Speed ‘Category 2’ HDMI's deliver 4K (especially 4K with frame rates higher than 30fps) much more consistently than standard ‘Category 1’ cables. However, Category 2 cables are everywhere these days, and don’t have to be expensive at all. A quick search on say: Amazon reveals that two metre Category 2 cables can cost as little as £5.00 any of these should do as good a job of carrying 4K digital signals as ultra-expensive versions for say £100.00. The only exception to this rule is when you need a cable longer than five metres, such as when using a projector. If you have a 4K TV without any HDR capabilities, any high-speed cable promising 4K support should be good enough. If you have a high-spec HDR-capable TV, look for cables that promise 18Gbps support to be safe. That’s it. You will see there are other so called software out there - but we believe in what we know with regards to RGB spectrum - after all it's what our companies all about we can only try and help others. Best wishes we wish you luck - keep us up to date on your Quest.
How long should I run this for safely on my LG 49SJ810V HDR TV to have some real effect and how offtern.. Also how long shkuld I run this for on my Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium mobile which is also 4K screen. Cheers

My screen had a pretty annoying shadow of a website, and whenever I went to do something else, it would still stay there. I have problems with things that are not perfect, so would this do the trick? Just asking if it happens again
NO this software ONLY fixes dead / stuck p[pixels. It will not fix Ghost images which is caused by either the Graphics card or DVI Connections - the problem you have is Graphics card related
I currently have a new bedroom TV, Hisense 43A6G, which I bought from best buy. Recently, i noticed that the TV has 3 small dead pixels on it and right now, it's past the return policy. I am currently playing this video on the TV. I hope that this current version will fix the dead pixels. Wish me luck.
I just bought a Samsung 4K 55" Q80T and immediately noticed a pink (presumably stuck?) pixel within my first 24 hours with it, so, I'm praying this works. I'll reply back with my findings for those reading this in the future with the same issue perhaps.
Dan You have to realise a dead stuck pixel will take some time to be repaired - its not a case of just turn on and run a program. we suggest you read the comments we have left others and they have fixed there problems. You will also note in the comments - A new screen from the manufactures CAN and DO COME with dead pixels from the factory - it is written in our comments section we have left others.
There is no reason why not - just follow what we have said to others - if you follow these simple steps the success will follow remember - if its been there for some time then it will take effort to clear the problem
Hi mate I'm running this just now for a bright red dot, I think that means it's a stuck pixel? See if this isn't successful first time is it worth it to keep doing it? Thanks
My 4K HDR tv has this very small white pixel now that’s noticeable when the screen is black if your in front of it, is it dead or stuck? I’ve reset the tv and it’s still there
Hi! I really need some help, please. My iPhone 11 has this fine line and little black dot. Would this help me solve that problem? Also how long should I leave the video going? And should my phone have it’s brighten to it’s max? I’m really desperate, pls someone help me
right Marian 2 things to remember on here 1. If you stream from your iphone - depending on your ISP ie EE, T mobile, Vodafone, Tesco Mobile etc - some like Tesco will stream at only 1080p ! you need to have at least 4K HD. Its the same as your home router - some do and will only stream at around 1080p or 2K you need to check this one out 2. How long should you leave it - as long as you can run it for - the longer the better - depends how bad the problem was ( 2 or 3 days running is good ) 3. Brightness - a good question indeed - YOU MUST run the program at NORMAL brightness - Normal is highly recommended The program should work that's for sure Remember - our tech guys have embedded a sound ( at around every 10 secs ) - that is purley for end user NOT to look at the screen - but can listen and hear the program is running - we put a lot of thought and detail into it hope that helps - best wishes
what we are trying to say - is just ensure you are not tethered to your home ISP router - some routers may run at 2K - you should run from 4G or way better still 5G as said many a time and folk just do not read our messages to others - like: If the problem has been there for some time - THEN IT MIGHT POSSIBLY be a long haul to remove or fix the problem - perseverance is key here
another point - you mention Iphone 11 - right ! - have you got warranty on it - if so get in touch with apple - replace the faulty unit/screen - a screen replacement is the easy way to get it sorted
IDP Film uhm, yeah, my phone still has is warranty but I live in a shitty 3rd world country so, even the Apple store sucks here... thank you for answering, I’ll try letting the video run as long as I can
Hello ! I’m French so excuse me for my poor English 😅🙏 I bought a Samsung QD-OLED S95B 4 months ago, I checked every month uniformity of The screen and pixels with withe, blue, red and green screens ! Everything was OK and working fine until today… I have a pixel or subpixel stuck in blue color, because with 100% blue screen The pixel is exactly like The others ! But I can see it with The other colors… 😭 that TV cost me more than 1 month of hard work, I’m so sad to see it already has a pixel issue… 😔 Can I try your video for my Samsung QD-OLED S95B ? I really hope it can work for QD-OLED too 🙏 Please tell me 🤞
hi it's ok with you bro, i wanted to ask if this will work on the screen to my psp. the day before yesterday he gave a little black line and I put a video that flashed quickly in red, green and blue which are the primary colors of the pixel right, so I managed to recover the red pixels of the screen but the blue and green ones didn't come back, so I was wondering if in this case this video would help me 😞 ??
Theirs no reason why it would not - that's what is been designed for ! All we can say is try it - its helped loads of others with success. Remember every screen is different and every problem is slightly different - also " How Long " has the problem been there will have an effect - one that's been present for a year will take longer to cure than one that's been there a few weeks. We wish you all the best Matheus
I bought a new Asus monitor and it came with a dead pixel, I looks black from normal viewing distance but if you get closer you can see 3 colors (red green and blue) but hopefully it works. I was just wonder how long do I need to keep this video going for it to actually work. Thanks for the reply
Yes its perfect for Mac Book Pro 2018. You need to run at full 4K or higher - see the notes we have left for others DO NOT REPLY on yours ISP server to run at highest resolution - sometimes they can and will stream at 1080p or 2K Read the notes we have left others - if you follow these then it can and does work
theres no reason why it wont - its been built for every screen ! - it works you just have to follow this procedure ( read what we have left others ) Good luck Wavy Blaze in your Quest
There are so many dead pixels on my Sony bravia led tv .after running this the pixels became small in size but not gone completely.. is it a good sign ??? Should I run this more ? Will they fix ?
You have to remember dead pixels / spots - may have been there for a few months or even longer ! You can only "keep trying to rejuvenate" these back into life suggest you read comments others have left
Actually home renovation was going on so I kept the tv off .i didn't knew about this then . I will keep on trying. But do these pixels will harm the screen ??? Please let me know?
We have no idea - what you are trying to say Quote: But do these pixels will harm the screen ??? can you say in plain English - so its easy to understand
For MONTHS I have had one side of my screen slightly darker. I thought I had to throw away the TV or replace a component. It dawned on me maybe its screen burn in and I cant believe it!!!! This fixed my display! Thank you so much!

this is the best video for clearing dead pixels
Will this fix dead LCD's on an ipad? And if so how often and long should I run the video on it?
Hey, is this only for dead pixels from screens that used to function perfectly? I ordered a 2k Samsung monitor, arrived today and seems to have 3 dead pixels (black), will this help?
Does this have any effect on Image Retention as seen on iMac 5k screens? Or will it just wear out the pixels faster?
Hey i have a samsung q6 fn 4k tv and i see a very little white pixel always around the top right corner. It is like i see red green and blue depending on the angle i view it on. It is very annoying. Do you thnk it is a stuck pixel?

Things we suggest you do when running this software to try to mend long term Dead Pixels that have been their ages:
One of the best things you can do - is put a towel or cloth over the front of the screen ( keeping all the air ventilation holes at the rear unblocked - DO NOT COVER THESE UP ) - and run the program.
Ensure you are running at true 4K or 5K HD - that said some computer systems running from a ISP router will down grade and run at a mere 1080P - If you are streaming from your router DIRECT to the TV monitor then you should get 4K or 5K HD.
This you can tell by looking closely at the screen. Things should be VERY SHARP & CRISP- as in Blu-Ray or a HD Blu-ray disc.
Its worth checking the above in detail before running.
Now its worth noting our: "INTERSTELLAR" edition MK3b or the "SUPERNOVA" edition MK3 - ULTIMATE FIX should fix Dead Stuck Pixels - The INTERSTELLAR" edition MK3b is the latest version released from our studos.
BOTH the "INTERSTELLAR" & "SUPERNOVA" has double the amount of data in the program - both should sort out the problem but the MK3b is a cut above the rest.

Quick question do I need to turn up the brightness etc on my TV or do I just run this on my general viewing settings?
I have search for an answer to this question in all of the remove stuck pixel videos. I did not find any answer. I guess the answer is to set the brightness /oled lamp to maximum to generate as much heat as possible during the video duration.
Will this one work for an 8k TV? I have the Q800T, 75 inches and it has a barely visible black spot in the lower right side... that’s all I can look at now, of course :(
I know the feeling. I read the samsung website and it says that stuck and dead led are normal specifications. What a world were living in where someone can buy a fricken 3000$ tv and they tell you it's normal that there is a bad led. I can't even sleep I'm so tired of life.
I have read alot about the framerate being important for these pixel fix videos. Will it be more beneficial to run this video at 2X speed?
Does this work on a monitor?
Hi! works on DLP projectors?¿ thks
Hello IDP. I have a brand new OLED LG C9 of 2019. I bought the TV one week ago and I’ve already noticed a black dead pixel. I played your older video and it fixed the problem. But another black dead pixel came up. So, I’m playing this video right now. Is this a temporary solution or it can really solve the problem?
Do you think it’s normal an one week TV with this problem?
It’s better to exchange the TV by a new one?
Sorry about the doubts. I’m very sad. I spent soo much money on TV and there is this problem!
Thank you very much.
Hi Andre Melo - we are sorry to hear this
To answer your questions:
1) Both our Dead Pixel programs should fix any problems you have - that said the MK3b is way better at the job
2) It should solve the problem - but you have to work at it ( see notes )
3) We dont think any manufacture will exchange - see link below
YES it will - read the below comments we have left others - it explains things in detail
We wish you luck in your quest to fix your problem ( remember new TV monitors can arrive from the manufactures with a percentage allowed of Dead pixels - they allow for this )
KNOW YOUR FACTS ! - USEFUL Link:
www.tested.com/tech/1337-we-uncover-the-dead-pixel-policies-for-every-major-lcd-maker/
our Techie guy suggests that a program such as ours ( and yes there are a few now on the market - some good - some not so good ) he runs it on his own set at home every 4 months - you have to remember dead pixels can happen on even a new screen - manufactures state that if only less then 10% of the actual pixels then this is normal - gone are the days of the Plasma screen which as you will remember cost anything from £2K to £6K and they were stunning - screens or monitors now are built on price - unless the end consumer spends a shed load of money then the manufactures want screens / monitors to last about 2 years - that said I think you will agree you can buy a screen for a little as £65.00 !!!! - enough said.
To answer your later question - we suggest running it for 2 hours - ( read the other comments we have left folk ) such as a cloth or towel over the front screen to excite the Dead Pixels back into life - NOTE: DO NOT COVER UP ANY VENTILATION OR COOLING VENTS - all you are trying to do is make the Front Screen warmer with a cloth over it which will help in your quest.
We wish you luck and we do hope this program help you - one last thing - try to as often as you can to stream a BluRay disc on film - as these run at a high definition this will help also - normal TV programs do not push the processors at all and thats one reason Dead Pixels form.
Just make sure IF YOU STREAM - ensure it's at a full 4K resolution - 1080p or even 2K will not do the trick - that said 4K or even better 5K would shift the pixels back into life - note: that depending how long the Dead Pixel's have been dormant - they will take time to "Awake" - keep trying and they can return.
With regards to Blu-Ray - if anyone else reads this post - just ensure you have a good quality HDMI lead - the Data Flow is what really counts - the whole idea is to push so much data to the Mother Board & Chips - things have to happen FAST and bring back from the dead.
However some cheap cables fail to deliver a signal at all between a source and a display. In other words, while we are seriously unconvinced that pricey HDMIs can improve picture and sound quality, it is possible for some HDMI cables to just not deliver enough digital information to enable a display to actually produce a picture at all.
With this in mind there is one basic level of HDMI cable specification it is actually worth trying to make sure you get.
High Speed ‘Category 2’ HDMI's deliver 4K (especially 4K with frame rates higher than 30fps) much more consistently than standard ‘Category 1’ cables.
However, Category 2 cables are everywhere these days, and don’t have to be expensive at all. A quick search on say: Amazon reveals that two metre Category 2 cables can cost as little as £5.00 any of these should do as good a job of carrying 4K digital signals as ultra-expensive versions for say £100.00.
The only exception to this rule is when you need a cable longer than five metres, such as when using a projector.
If you have a 4K TV without any HDR capabilities, any high-speed cable promising 4K support should be good enough. If you have a high-spec HDR-capable TV, look for cables that promise 18Gbps support to be safe. That’s it.
You will see there are other so called software out there - but we believe in what we know with regards to RGB spectrum - after all it's what our companies all about we can only try and help others.
Best wishes we wish you luck - keep us up to date on your Quest.
Mel did this permanently fix the dead pixels?
André Melo did this video fix your tv?
Hey Andre, did this work for you. I have a stuck green pixel in the middle of my 950g. Do u have any recommendations.
What about horizontal dead pixel line on the Samsung IPS monitor (Samsung S24R350)?? Thank you.
This is great, thank you worked for me!
How long should I run this for safely on my LG 49SJ810V HDR TV to have some real effect and how offtern.. Also how long shkuld I run this for on my Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium mobile which is also 4K screen. Cheers

Gabriel - we have left this answer on another post you have done today
@@idpfilm it's weird I didn't have any notification, despite I have received this one
Works with Dirty Screen Efect? Thanks!
My screen had a pretty annoying shadow of a website, and whenever I went to do something else, it would still stay there. I have problems with things that are not perfect, so would this do the trick? Just asking if it happens again
NO this software ONLY fixes dead / stuck p[pixels.
It will not fix Ghost images which is caused by either the Graphics card or DVI Connections - the problem you have is Graphics card related
Should i turn of dynamic dimming and ELMB i am using asus monitor
I currently have a new bedroom TV, Hisense 43A6G, which I bought from best buy. Recently, i noticed that the TV has 3 small dead pixels on it and right now, it's past the return policy. I am currently playing this video on the TV. I hope that this current version will fix the dead pixels. Wish me luck.
I just bought a Samsung 4K 55" Q80T and immediately noticed a pink (presumably stuck?) pixel within my first 24 hours with it, so, I'm praying this works. I'll reply back with my findings for those reading this in the future with the same issue perhaps.
Nothing (so far), gonna contact my local retailer or Samsung and go from there in the hopes of a replacement, I guess.
:/

You have to realise a dead stuck pixel will take some time to be repaired - its not a case of just turn on and run a program. we suggest you read the comments we have left others and they have fixed there problems.
You will also note in the comments - A new screen from the manufactures CAN and DO COME with dead pixels from the factory - it is written in our comments section we have left others.
Same TV bought it on 24/12/20 have a dead pixel in the middle. Did you fixed yours or you replaced it?
I have a single vertical line running through 1/4th of the screen on my samsung UHD tv. Can that get fixed with this?
There is no reason why not - just follow what we have said to others - if you follow these simple steps the success will follow
remember - if its been there for some time then it will take effort to clear the problem
Hi mate I'm running this just now for a bright red dot, I think that means it's a stuck pixel? See if this isn't successful first time is it worth it to keep doing it? Thanks
Have the same problem, this solved it on your tv?
My 4K HDR tv has this very small white pixel now that’s noticeable when the screen is black if your in front of it, is it dead or stuck? I’ve reset the tv and it’s still there
@@zenpai5998 I am also facing this problem bro
@@zenpai5998 maybe you should replace the display for that
how do i download this for usb to put in tv thanks
Will this work on an optima 4K projector
Hi! I really need some help, please. My iPhone 11 has this fine line and little black dot. Would this help me solve that problem? Also how long should I leave the video going? And should my phone have it’s brighten to it’s max? I’m really desperate, pls someone help me
right Marian
2 things to remember on here
1. If you stream from your iphone - depending on your ISP ie EE, T mobile, Vodafone, Tesco Mobile etc - some like Tesco will stream at only 1080p !
you need to have at least 4K HD. Its the same as your home router - some do and will only stream at around 1080p or 2K you need to check this one out
2. How long should you leave it - as long as you can run it for - the longer the better - depends how bad the problem was ( 2 or 3 days running is good )
3. Brightness - a good question indeed - YOU MUST run the program at NORMAL brightness - Normal is highly recommended
The program should work that's for sure
Remember - our tech guys have embedded a sound ( at around every 10 secs ) - that is purley for end user NOT to look at the screen - but can listen and hear the program is running - we put a lot of thought and detail into it
hope that helps - best wishes
IDP Film uhm, maybe is a dumb question but, indeed, that’s the highest quality I can run the video, what can I do to have the 4K HD option?
what we are trying to say - is just ensure you are not tethered to your home ISP router - some routers may run at 2K - you should run from 4G or way better still 5G
as said many a time and folk just do not read our messages to others - like: If the problem has been there for some time - THEN IT MIGHT POSSIBLY be a long haul to remove or fix the problem - perseverance is key here
another point - you mention Iphone 11 - right ! - have you got warranty on it - if so get in touch with apple - replace the faulty unit/screen - a screen replacement is the easy way to get it sorted
IDP Film uhm, yeah, my phone still has is warranty but I live in a shitty 3rd world country so, even the Apple store sucks here... thank you for answering, I’ll try letting the video run as long as I can
Will this work with an Insignia 4K Fire TV? Two small but noticeable stuck pixels. I ran one of the other videos overnight to no avail
Have u got the pixels un stuck yet? I have one stuck pixel in the middle of my 950g sony
How long should I run it?
till it ends
Work in smart tv?
Hi, does it work removing black shadows? It’s a Samsung tv 7series
Hello ! I’m French so excuse me for my poor English 😅🙏
I bought a Samsung QD-OLED S95B 4 months ago, I checked every month uniformity of The screen and pixels with withe, blue, red and green screens ! Everything was OK and working fine until today… I have a pixel or subpixel stuck in blue color, because with 100% blue screen The pixel is exactly like The others ! But I can see it with The other colors… 😭 that TV cost me more than 1 month of hard work, I’m so sad to see it already has a pixel issue… 😔
Can I try your video for my Samsung QD-OLED S95B ? I really hope it can work for QD-OLED too 🙏 Please tell me 🤞
Ouais cette video elle fonctionnera bien je crois ya aussi plein d'autres videos pour les pixels mort/déplacés. Bonne chance avec ta télé 💪
Happens to mine as well, did it get fixed?
hi it's ok with you bro, i wanted to ask if this will work on the screen to my psp. the day before yesterday he gave a little black line and I put a video that flashed quickly in red, green and blue which are the primary colors of the pixel right, so I managed to recover the red pixels of the screen but the blue and green ones didn't come back, so I was wondering if in this case this video would help me 😞 ??
Theirs no reason why it would not - that's what is been designed for !
All we can say is try it - its helped loads of others with success.
Remember every screen is different and every problem is slightly different - also " How Long " has the problem been there will have an effect - one that's been present for a year will take longer to cure than one that's been there a few weeks.
We wish you all the best Matheus
I bought a new Asus monitor and it came with a dead pixel, I looks black from normal viewing distance but if you get closer you can see 3 colors (red green and blue) but hopefully it works. I was just wonder how long do I need to keep this video going for it to actually work. Thanks for the reply
He didn’t reply tho
Is this ok to run in MBP 2018 which has black dot (probably dead pixel)
Yes its perfect for Mac Book Pro 2018.
You need to run at full 4K or higher - see the notes we have left for others
DO NOT REPLY on yours ISP server to run at highest resolution - sometimes they can and will stream at 1080p or 2K
Read the notes we have left others - if you follow these then it can and does work
I have a Philips led tv that has two stuck white pixels in the corner, have people had success with stuck or hot pixels
Thank you so much!!!!
Does this work for my iPhone 7+?
theres no reason why it wont - its been built for every screen ! - it works you just have to follow this procedure ( read what we have left others )
Good luck Wavy Blaze in your Quest
Thanks dude such a great help👍 don't watch the screen like I did. My eyes are fkd🤪 TVs fixed tho 😁
There are so many dead pixels on my Sony bravia led tv .after running this the pixels became small in size but not gone completely.. is it a good sign ??? Should I run this more ? Will they fix ?
You have to remember dead pixels / spots - may have been there for a few months or even longer !
You can only "keep trying to rejuvenate" these back into life
suggest you read comments others have left
Actually home renovation was going on so I kept the tv off .i didn't knew about this then . I will keep on trying. But do these pixels will harm the screen ??? Please let me know?
We have no idea - what you are trying to say
Quote: But do these pixels will harm the screen ???
can you say in plain English - so its easy to understand
Which tv do you have?
will this work in HD
of course
Org indonesia mana
woii.. asal mana?
