how to fix a burnt pixel

[Avinoam73]

hi guys! i've got this red pixel on this lower part of the screen. it's really visible and i don't know how to get it off. it's most visible on white backgrounds, and when the monitor is black you can't see it at all.

any ideas?

Nothing you can do really, never heard of pixel replacements.
PS: That's a dead pixel not a burnt pixel.

Go to youtube and search dead pixel. You actually can fix them.

wait... what's the difference between burnt and dead?

Just go to youtube and view several videos on the subject.

There's nothing like a burnt pixel, its either dead (black) or stuck (at one color).

Your case seems like a stuck pixel not dead, there are a couple good apps to restore it.
