Thank you!

I tried different DP outputs on my GPU, didn't change anything, the display has just one input so I cant really try.. Sadly I don't have another DP cable right now. But I should probably get one if there is a chance it fixes anything. If something broke on the DP driver inside the screen this might actually be a reason to RMA the screen though. So that would be something.. The Monitor: Dell S2417DG

Hey guys, this is my first post here, I was lurking for a while but I thought with this question I am quite right here with you... Since an hour or so my screen shows a small cluster of white pixels, I think its 4 pixels in a 2x2 pattern. I thought I had stuck pixels and began looking for ways to unstick them. While playing around I noticed that if I had no signal Input on the switchen on screen (so backlight but no signal) there was no white dot at all. So I pluged in my old HDMI Cable and see there, no white dot anymore. Back to the DP cable and its back again. Can this be caused by a faulty cable? In my understanding digital cables work, or dont, and not work better or worse. But maybe I am wrong here? I googled the matter and found absolutely nothing. The screen worked fine with DP for just over 2 years, I changed nothing, it just appeared! Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance, liquidmasl Edit: So I feel like to stupidest mofo out there right now.. What I did try: different software to "unstuck" pixel damp cloth and gently rubbing Pressing on the pixel while restarting screen Then I found out that the pixel aint white when the screen gets no signal (background illuminated but black). Then I tried: Use HDMI cable Use different DP port on the GPU Factory reset screen change display settings What solved the issue: Closing Teamviewer or Overwolf. Probably overwolf cause it is an overlay application. What did I learn? Restart computer before troubleshooting anything. Even "dead pixel". I need a beer now. Thanks Ziggy on discord to get me there!
