How does one check for dead pixels??

You look at it and see if they are there 😉

Open something with a white background, like a word processor.

Search for the free program "dead pixel buddy". It's quite helpful for finding dead pixels.

a white, red, black, blue and green backround is a good way to find them, the only ones i have seen were on plasma TV's (50" Pioneer) and the 42" Loewe at work, they had 1 on the pioneer and 3 on the loewe, all 4 though were a purple colour and were noticable straight away.

Yeah someone posted a link to it in another thread, and that program is all you need to find dead/stuck pixels.
