Question Mouse cursor covers dead pixels?

[M05K The Laden]

Hello, does mouse cursor covers dead pixels? I have an Asus VG248QG and today it appeared a "dead" pixel with some shadow around it, checked it in all apps and it was there. The odd thing was when i was moving the cursor to the "dead pixel" it dissapeared. After rebooting PC, on the blue screen restarting it dissapeared, and now its fine. Should I be worried it could be a dead pixel soon?

Thanks

Probably just a stuck pixel, and moving the mouse under it got it unstuck.
Dead pixels are physical broken, not displaying anything. Stuck pixles have the capability to display information, but may be unable to in their current state.

Ive had three stuck pixels on my monitors, one of the was fixed by running an on screen remedy of flashing colors, the other was fixed by putting a hot rag in a zip lock bag and pressing on it.
Both have worked fine ever since.
The last pixel is still stuck on red.

Maybe I should send it to warranty or its fine?

Thanks

Most manufacturers wont warranty a monitor for only one pixel, it depends on the specific policy but probably not worth it.
If it were several, or a cluster, thats a different question.
Chances are the monitor youll get back could have more than one this time around.

Plus, its working fine now so I wouldnt be concerned.

EDIT: looked up your policy, you have to have either 3 bright pixels, 5 dark pixels, or 8 combined, or more. So you wouldnt quality for an RMA.

It could be a gpu problem too? Because im using two monitors, my old 60hz with tons of dead pixels and this asus vg248qg, this was the first time I saw time happening.

Unlikely, but if you are concerned about that try each monitor on their own, different cables, etc.
If the results are the same you can rule out the GPU.

I used some alchol wipes some days ago to clean it, i think thats not the problem... but here it goes the wipes i used to : Kontakt Chemie 100U

i've had the same problem before, its actually just steam bugging out

you can fix it by restarting steam

For anyone who find this post. Like me. It literally is Steam causing it and I don't understand how that works lol. Shout out to TheGreatYesus.

Register just to post a thank you! Already did everything I could find online and what I could remember about fixing stuck pixels, and thought it was dead. But noticed my mouse cursor was still whole and brightly white when moved over it and got curious and googled it. Found this post on it. Soon as I closed steam, the dead pixel went away.
