How old is it? Basically impossible to fix a dead pixel, though you can usually get it RMA'd

it's new, less than a week, but it's not a dead pixel. it turns red on black screens.

Ah, I see what you're saying. You've got a stuck pixel. Try reading the following article and following the steps, might fix it.

Just an FYI on stuck / dead pixels on monitors:

Both retailers and manufacturers have very specific policies on this matter. Your local retailer may not honor the exchange / return unless there are a certain quantity or even quantity in a specified area unless you have purchased the extra in-store warranty. Also with the manufacturers, they may have a similar policy detailed.Though, for high end monitors, you are much better off!

In this case, if there aren't other reasons to avoid doing so, I would be going back to where it was purchased!

the red dot went away when I fiddled with the display port. but now there is a collection of white dots in a black screen. they were around when the red dot was showing

So I exchanged my monitor. 

Strangely, I get the stuck pixel whenever the pixel should display black or a dark color and around it there should be a light color, Youtube for example. any explanation?
