I saw this white dot on a ask.fm page. I am not sure if it is a dead pixel because this pic is an screenshot and i dont think dead pixels show up on screen shots.
also the dead pixel dissapeared when i left the web page. I think it is just a bug of the webpage but i want to be sure. Remember that this pic is an screenshot.

"Nature abhors straight lines". So do random pixels deaths.
You can ask the Genius Bar to look at it, but it is a nicely established 6-sided box-ish shape. And it vanishes when you move to another page that has the same balck background.
weather.com has a small dead-like pixel in the middle of the "map" display ... and I mean "directly in the middle", indicating it is part of the screen refresh.
First confirm with pixel testing software like this: http://alphaomega.software.free.fr/pixeltester/Pixel%20Tester.html
Note a pixel can be stuck in any of the primary colors, since it is after all a triad of diodes, so you need to test with all.
I don't think it is a dead pixel because I have read that dead pixels don't appear on screenshots only if you take a picture to the screen with a phone cam or a cam.
The pixel not only appears there, if I surf the website and I go down the white dot changes of position. This is a PNG so I just cut the part of the image where the white dot was.
Also if i look the icon of the image on my dock you can see the small dot in the icon if you look close... it looks like that white dot is just a bug of the page and when i took the screen shot using command + shift + 3 I took a picture of the website with the bug
what do you think?
I would agree, if it does not appear on any other page.
The problem is apparently with the website.
No it doesn't appear in any other page.
To confirm, Does a dead pixel can move? Because it appears on the left-down-corner of my screen but the icon on the desktop is on the top right corner and if you look carefully the icon has the white dot
Hablas Español?
Para explicarlo mejor prefiero hablar español jaja.
El pixel aparece en la pagina ask.fm pero yo pienso que los pixeles muertos solamente aparecen si tomas una foto con una cámara de celular no una captura a la pantalla con command - shift - 3.
Además cuando uso la app vista previa para ver el png de la toma de la pantalla puedo recortar la zona donde está el pixel moverlo a dónde yo quiera, incluso esa foto que está arriba no es la original yo recorté la zona dondeaparecía el "pixel" y creé otro png.
Incluso, el png está como un icono en mi escritorio y si observas el icono detalladamente puedes ver el supuesto pixel muerto. es como si fuera parte de la imagen y no un pixel muerto en si. yo pienso que los pixeles muertos se quedan en un solo lugar y no se mueven y aparecen en los iconos de las imagenes etc.
incluso pienso que un pixel muerto no aparece en una captura de pantalla😝
Pixels are physical elements. Unless the display is *very* warped, dead pixels stay in one place.
A whte dot that appears in the same place on all pages, can be broken. But I suspect I have at least 1 pixel dead based on tiny phantoms I sometimes see and simple statistics (cannot get all of them perfect). Just that it is very few and have not increased. Apple I think has a policy of not replacing a display untl you have "enough" dead pixels. What "enough" actually equates to is Apple's call.
is this a dead pixel?
