OK...since last night I've been noticing something REALLY weird w/ my screen. It first started when I was watching some videos in VLC (.ogm format). Usually at dark points, massive amounts of what looks like hot pixels would appear. These pixels were bright blue in color, and kinda flashed on and off pretty quick. Also, they weren't exactly in fixated positions on the monitor itself, but rather the VIDEO. So, for example, if there was a patch of these hot pixels around the left side of the video...if I moved the video window around, the hot pixels would still be around that area. Example Picture.
Then, while I was viewing a a post by Fuzzybabybunny and looked at one of the pictures, the same thing happened. What's weird is, if I saved the picture and then viewed it, it was normal. Example Picture.
I really don't know what these are. Everything is normal otherwise, and if I use something like Dead Pixel Buddy to check for dead pixels, everything's fine (except for what looks like 1 tiny dead pixel on the bottom right side). I've just restarted my computer, and set the monitor back to factory defaults and also got rid of the monitor profile, and things seem normal for now. If someone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it!
