How to check for dead or stuck pixels

You do the observing.
We provide the patterns.

  1. 01

    Gently remove surface dust using the device maker’s cleaning instructions. Do not press on the panel.

  2. 02

    Inspect white for dark points and black for bright points. View at a comfortable distance.

  3. 03

    Switch through red, green, and blue. Check the same physical spot against every background.

  4. 04

    Repeat after cleaning. If the point persists, record its position and consult the manufacturer’s pixel policy.

BEFORE YOU DRAW A CONCLUSION

Your screen check questions

Can this dead pixel test count pixels automatically?

No. The screen checker shows white, black, red, green, and blue backgrounds for your own inspection. Compare the same physical point across fields; it does not count or classify pixel faults.

Can this tool fix a dead or stuck pixel?

No. It displays static test colors for observation and does not offer flashing repair sequences. Do not press or rub the panel. Use your device maker’s guidance for a persistent point.

Does one visible point qualify for a replacement?

There is no universal answer. Pixel policies differ by manufacturer, model, region, and defect type. Record your observation and check the policy for your exact display instead of treating this test as a warranty verdict.

Does this dead pixel checker detect faults automatically?

No. It displays solid-color backgrounds for your own inspection. It does not locate a point, count pixels, or produce an automatic fault report.

Can I use a dead pixel test on an iPhone, Android phone, or laptop?

Yes, if the device can open this page in a modern browser. Compare the same physical point on white, black, red, green, and blue; browser controls and display filters can affect the view.

What is a hot pixel?

Pixel terminology varies by manufacturer. A bright point may be described as stuck or hot in different support guides, so compare it across backgrounds and check your display maker’s definitions.

Will a stuck pixel fixer repair the point?

ScreenCheckup does not run pixel-fixer flashing software or promise a repair. Check the same point on several colors, avoid pressing the panel, and follow the manufacturer’s model-specific advice.
