23" hot pixel right in the middle of the screen

I've just bought a 23" for photography. The problem is that there is a hot green pixel in the middle of the screen which makes calibration with my spyder2 calibrator an issue : It's hard to get around the calibration zone (which displays the color that read the calibrator).
And obviously the calibrator window is non movable...
Therefore the black read seems to be wrong, and I can see a subtle yet very annoying shift to the purples in the shadows, which for photography makes the whole 23" completely useless.
I've looked about the Apple license on this (before coming to that forum) and it seems that the only green pixel in the middle of the screen would not make it elligible for a replace.
So did I just spend 1150 euros for nothing ?
Thanks for any reply on this,

Hi-
You are not alone-BUT, at least it's not a dead pixel. A stuck pixel can be repaired (un-stuck) by .............Massage!
Yes, this is for real. It worked for me on my bright green pixel, 1 cm right of dead center.
Here are some links to "How To's":
http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Stuck-Pixel-on-an-LCD-Monitor
Some find success using a "software" method- basically a looped video flashing the monitor:
http://fixdeadpixels.uv.ro/fix-stuck-pixels.html
http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/how-to-fix-your-stuck-pixel-on-lcd.htm l
I have read reports, though, of the flashing monitor trick to cause more stuck pixels.
Other reports are of users both massaging and flashing at the same time.
So, you and your pixel don't have to be "stuck" with each other.......!

  • Do I have to live with dark/dead pixels with my new 15" MBP? Yesterday I bought one and have one dark spot in the middle of the screen.

    Hello
    Yesterday I bought a 15" MBP and found a dark spot in the middle of its screen right away while in the 1st-time-welcome-boot. What a welcome. Do I have to live with it? It is exactly one pixel missing its yellow subpixel. It would be ok if it would be in some corner - but its right in the middle of the screen. Suggestions/experiences in this matter anyone?

    Thanks for your suggestions - took it back - got a new, mint, shiny one

  • I have one dead pixel in the middle of the screen.

    I have 3 issues with my iPad2 at the moment
    1. Bad back-light bleeding around edges. It is kind of big bleed on the right edge and small ones on the left.
    2. One dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
    3. Lots Horizontal lines occured everytime when press sleep button on and off quickly.
    What can I do, this is the replaced one that comes in brown box. On of the genius guy say that horizonta lines is normal when LCD screen boots up and as long as it does not effect while you are playing then it should be fine. But my friend dont have this issue so i think it is kind of faulty of the device.
    Can I go to genius bar and ask for another replacement?

    I went to apple store today and this time one of the staff said they will not replace for dead pixels or screen bleeding. And for the horizontal line issue.. The guy at genius bar said it's normal when LCD screen wakes up from sleep or when it boots up. It's kinda weird I think.

    Move cursor onto video.  Right click.  Click Settings,  Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close.  That will work.
    For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
    video.  See, if it works for you.

  • The website is not centered in the middle of my screen, right side is gone and left side is white. Only in safetymode the screen is centered in the middle

    Websites are dislayed in the middle of the screen. Half the website is gone on the right side. on the left side it is white. Only when i startup in safetymode the websites are displayed in the center of the screen

    When going to a website the picture was small - tried changing the Zoom size , tried Zoom Reset - the text did change size but the layout distorts - found under View - Zoom - Zoom Text Only was checked --- Removed this check mark and the website returned to normal size and Zoom worked normally again. I am 99.9999% sure I did NOT check this myself and there is no one else on the computer to cause it. Maybe this will help.

  • Songs skip right in the middle of the song

    when I listen to some songs right in the middle of the song it just stops and skips for no reason. In the past i've seen this issue go right within the first 0-10 seconds of the sogn but this time it is in th e middle.
    What is causing this and how can I fix it?

    I just started having this problem after the last itunes software update. It only happened on some songs. I tried resetting the iPod and that wiped out all my songs on the iPod. When I reload them, the problem now happens on all songs. Great solution, huh? Have you found a way to fix by any chance?

    Help...

    If it has just stopped working and you have had it for less than a year, Apple will replace the iPad for free (make sure to back it up to iTunes first). If not, you will either have to pay for a new one, or get it fixed.

  • Refurb T440s - big piece of dust right in the middle of the screen? Low battery?

    I'm really disappointed.
    Just got a T440s refurb and there's a big giant piece of dust right in the middle of the screen like it's stuck between two panels or something. And the battery is at 57 minutes with 75% remaining. When I stick the second battery in it goes up to 2 hours. I thought it was supposed to last like 7 hours??

    The dust has the obvious solutions. Hope your refurb has 1 year depot warranty.
    As for the battery, what is the full charge capacity of each battery compared to the design capacity of the battery. HWmonitor can report these values.

    Uhm. It crawled in there? Strange.
    If your laptop is still under warranty then bring it to an apple store. This way they will take it apart for you and you wont be voiding your warranty.
    If it's not under warranty, you could bring/call a apple store and see if they will do it for free.

  • TS1362 some songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song.

    Songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song. Can I fix this or recover the full song?

    I just found out how to solve the problem today
    Go to the original location of the song. Meaning, if the song file is on the desktop then go there and individually click the songs and they'll play on Itunes perfectly fine
    I'm not sure why this happened but I hope that works for you!
