Tiny Black Dot On Screen?

Hello

I've had my new IPhone 4 for a couple of days & have noticed a tiny black dot on the screen. It cannot be removed & obviously shows up well on a white background.

After doing some research, think it could be a dead pixel.

Any advice??

Thanks

I always thought that dead pixels actually got stuck on a color, but then again, I'm not sure. But, I bet it's some imperfection in the glass or even a speck of dust. I would suggest taking it back and getting a replacement. It would drive me crazy!

Not sure if this will work with the iPhone 4 but it worked on previous models. Crazy as it sounds, put some pressure on the area and it will disappear.

See this thread.

Try going to Youtube and searching for 'fix dead pixel iphone'. There are a few videos people have made that flash between green, blue and red. In some instances, this will sort it. If it doesn't, chances are you have a dead pixel rather than just a stuck pixel.

Go here on your iphone, see if this fixes the issue:

Go to an Apple store, but make an appointment before you go.

Mouth to pixel?

Apple should replace it. My wife got hers at AT&t and Apple replaced hers.

Looks like u have a dead pixel, sone people think that dead pixel is fixible but it's not, also don't get confused between a stuck pixel and a dead pixels.

Dead pixels remains dead and can not be fixed. Period.

A stuck pixel does lit up but that it is stuck, however a stuck pixel can be fixable but doesn't always fix it self either.
