| If it's only one, I don't think you have any recourse. Most companies have some sort of limit of stuck pixels before they'll even consider taking a monitor back. And I'm not sure, but I don't think you can "fix" them, but I'm sure someone who knows more can give you more info. |

I know that newegg has a policy of at least 8 dead or stuck pixels before you can RMA a monitor. There is no easy way to fix the dead pixels. Maybe if you call the place that you ordered the monitor from and tell them you understand it was refurbished, but the dead pixel is in the dead center and you can't edit photos; they might be able to help.
Good luck. |

You have a stuck pixel, not a dead one. Dead pixels are black, stuck pixels can be any color. WikiHow has some suggestions:
