Question Is this a dead pixel or dust inside the monitor ?

[Anti illuminati]

hello. my monitor is an MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD and i am using for more than 2 years and it was without dead or stuck pixels .yesterday when i moved my monitor to another place. i noticed a grey pale dot on the side of my monitor which was not there before. so is the movement of my monitor caused that or its a dust that trapped inside? how can i fix it?

This, for sure, is not that.

Could be smudge on the outside screen, that you could clean off.

If it is dead pixel, monitor replacement is only fix. Also, warranty usually doesn't cover 1 dead pixel. Usually, there can be up to 5 dead pixels and warranty still doesn't cover it.

no its not smudge on outer screen . its deep inside and its not dead its a pale grey dot. you mean not dust?
as far as i know dead or stuck or any kind of problematic pixels are from factory at first . not appeared over time. so its probably dust because its appeared yesterday. i also tried to apply pressure with damp cloth with no luck.

Pixels can die at any given time, even without apparent reason.

Best way to test it; take a sharp object, e.g hammer's pointy end and smack it hard in the middle of screen. Look if you get any dead pixels after that. 😈

its a pale grey dot

Dead pixel is black. If you put your screen showing white and if you have high enough pixel density ratio, it appears gray (since pixels around it illuminate it enough to appear gray).

If you still think it is dust inside the monitor, feel free to rip the monitor and the LCD screen itself apart, to get that 1 small dust particle, while introducing hundreds of more dust particles in there.

yesterday i checked nothing was there. after moving it appeared. so you still insist its a dead pixel caused by transportation?

 

[Aeacus]

I don't insist. I just say it would be the most likely cause. If you don't want to believe it, that's fine.

Could it be due to transportation? Maybe.
Could it be that the pixel just happened to die when you moved your monitor (aka coincidence)? Maybe.

Me or anyone else, doesn't have psychic abilities to tell what exactly caused it and what it actually is. Best we can do, is educated guess.

i watched a video that a guy pulling an electric toothbrush on screen and the dust moved like a charm out of screen. could it be help?

Sure, you can try. The small vibration from electric toothbrush won't damage the screen.
