LG TV – Troubleshooting Pixel Outage or Colored Dots on Screen

  • Troubleshooting

At a Glance

A pixel outage (dead pixel) can be defined as a stuck pixel or a bright dot of color that fails to update when neighboring pixels change. Stuck pixels are most noticeable when the rest of the screen is black. This can normally be corrected with troubleshooting.

Dead Pixels /  Dark Pixels

Dark/Dead Pixels: These are caused by dead transistors.

Stuck/Bright Pixels

Stuck/Bright Pixels: This is caused by a malfunction in the transistor that allows light through all of the sub pixels, or none of them.
