UDPixel

Made the jump from CRT to LCD, but eternally frustrated by stuck pixels? You know the ones, they're the pixels that are stuck at a specific color like red, green, or blue, and are different from the black ones - those have died and gone to liquid crystal heaven. You may have heard about an article on WikiHow recently on a possible fix for the situation, which involves a damp cloth and some rubbing action, but if that doesn't work, then maybe this program can. It's called UDPixel, and though the tiny screenshot of it doesn't really say much, it tries to repair the stuck pixels by making the display undergo rapid color changes to force them to "get with the program," so to speak, and corrects the problem by properly circulating the liquid inside them (liquid crystals work through a combination of this liquid and the backlight of your monitor). It's not 100% guaranteed to work, but as the creator says himself - what have you got to lose by letting it run a few hours?
