Dead pixels typically appear as small, unmoving black, white, or colored dots on your screen. They occur when a pixel fails to illuminate. Unlike stuck pixels, which show one fixed color, dead pixels do not emit any light at all. While some dead pixels may go away on their own, others might be permanent and require professional repair or replacement.
