How to Test Your LCD/LED Monitor for Dead Pixels

The older CRT monitors are a thing of the past. Now all computer come with the LCD or LED monitors. These new LCD/LED monitors are flat screened, take smaller space and consume less electricity compared to the CRT monitors. These monitors are made up of an array of diodes that give out the light of different colors. As the time passes, one or more of these tiny diodes may fail to work – resulting in a tiny black or white dot on the screen. These are commonly called as dead pixels. Sometimes even the brand new LCD/LED monitors also come with defects and already have such dead pixels. You should test your brand new LED/LED monitors quickly for dead pixels so that you can replace them while they are still under warranty.
