Laptor arrived - red dead pixel (Vortex elite AUO)

[Alloid]

I just received my Vortex Elite, and found one red dead pixel. Is there any way how I can try to sort this out not sending laptop back?

That is really bad news mate!

You could try this google suggestion: http://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/peripherals/how-to-fix-dead-pixels-on-your-lcd-monitor-598484

Not a clue how successful it is though! Good luck!

Actually I was changing screen settings for more comfortable option for my eyes, and dead pixel just disappeared.
On the black screen I dont see any red pixel, I will thy to change diffrent colours.

Can anybody explain is this possible that pixel just started to work properly? =)

Given it was red it was more than likely just a stuck pixel (rather than a dead one) and when you forced it to repaint the screen by changing settings it just got itself unstuck.

This explains it quite well

Rakk gets the jist of it though.
