A link in the comments to the blog leads to http://www.jscreenfix.com/

claims to be able fix 'stuck' pixels, fixed bright dots, by rapidly cyling an area of the screen in different modes, sort of exercising out.

We have a bright green line down our monitor, maybe I wil try this out later.

Damn you Buster. Now I know I have a dead pixel and it's driving me nuts. Before this, I thought it was just another piece of dirt on the screen.

Beest. Thanks for reading the blog. Works? Damifino! Hope that my new LCD doesn't need that yet.
Bruce. Try it and report.

Well I tried it on our laptop and it had no effect, it's not just a pixel though, a line all down the screen that appeared after an impact, so probably more hardwareish.
