Dealing with a dead pixel on your monitor can be incredibly frustrating. Before you look into a replacement, try running a pixel-fixing tool for a few hours to see if it’s just stuck. If the pixel remains completely black, it is likely a hardware failure. Check your manufacturer’s warranty policy, as many companies have specific requirements regarding the minimum number of faulty pixels needed for an exchange. Don't hesitate to reach out to support if you're still within your coverage period!
