Question A green pixel is blinking like a star on my monitor...

I just got a new monitor and for a few days now I've noticed tiny green 1 pixel flashing on top of black images. Since it moves, I guess we can't call it a dead pixel. I passed the dead pixel test, there are no dead pixels. When I touch this thing that looks like a distant star, it disappears... What's going on? What is this? I don't come across it very often, I see it rarely, but this is the first time in my life that I've seen something like this and I want to know why. (Monitor connection DP)

Might want to upload a video clip of what you're experiencing onto Imgur or their ilk and then pass on a link for us to see.

Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

From what I understand from these questions, maybe this could also be related to electricity or other hardware. Am I understanding correctly? But I still couldn't find a logical connection.

I can summarize it like this, gskill 32 gb ram, 500gb ssd, corei7 (7gen) cooler master 750w bronze psu, atx msi mainboard. (bios 2019) I can't find a logical connection, doesn't this seem more monitor related?

If so, what could be the possibilities? But still, the monitor should be included in these possibilities. (And Could it be the cable? Some common answers on the internet say it could also be the cable.)

I think I found the answer to this question. This is probably a stuck pixel. And I understand that monitor manufacturers have taken some precautions against these possibilities. Dell for example, calls it “LCD Conditioning”. And similar to the dead pixel test, it works until it is stopped by the user. That's what I understand from this technical service ticket https://www.dell.com/community/en/c...-doesnt-seem-to-work/647f4f11f4ccf8a8de7d5510 I saw the same application on LG monitor (I am not the author of this topic) https://www.reddit.com/r/computers/comments/1dtusld/why_does_my_display_do_this/

I ran it for a while, and now I think it's gone. But why are we still dealing with these things, hasn't technology developed? These problems should have been completely eliminated from our lives by now.
