I have a lot of friends that have LCD monitors (I prefer CRT still) and most of them are complaining about stuck pixels and how they can repair a LCD monitor that has this type of problem. I will show you 3 simple ways that you can use to get rid of this problem without having to go to someone else and maybe pay that respective person. Stuck pixels usually appear because the liquid inside the LCD monitor is not spread properly, and so 1 or more pixels may remain stuck with one color or just stay black, it depends. But now lets get down to the explaining part. 1. I will start with the software method, since this is the one that most people prefer and it is also the easiest way to repair LCD monitor that has a stuck pixel. I have 2 software programs that can do this and they are free, just search on the internet and you will find plenty of them. 2. Trying to repair the problem using pressure. What you have to do is, start by turning off your LCD monitor and then find something like a pen that has a small rounded end but it is still thin, you must use this since if it is too sharp you may scratch your LCD. Then get a small damp cloth to protect your LCD monitor from scratching, fold the cloth in 2 and place it exactly over the stuck pixel and start adding a small amount of pressure on it with the pen, DO NOT press hard or you will risk to further damage your LCD monitor and also DO NOT add pressure anywhere else besides that pixel. Now, while adding pressure on it, turn on your lcd monitor, then remove the pen and the stuck pixel should be gone. 3. And the third method is fixing the stuck pixel by tapping. Start by putting a black background on your display, and I mean black and make sure you leave your lcd monitor turned on. Then get a pen or something thin but with a rounded end and start to gently tap the stuck pixel until it disappears,you should have a steady hand for this so you wont tap other pixels. You know that you’ve added enough pressure on your taps if the screen glows white around the pixel. It should fix it after a few taps. I hope this article helped you in some way, and you may repair your LCD monitor’s stuck pixels. As a final note I want to add that there is no guarantee that these methods will work, you try them at your own risk.

I have a friend who is teaching at an inner city school in New York City. Many of his students are children from difficult social circumstances and they question whether they will get anything out of being in school. Recently one of the students asked him what use is to it stay in school? From the perspective of a student coming from a rough neighborhood, the question makes a lot of sense. I thought about it and here is how I would answer the question if I were in my friends’ position.
The most important thing you get from a high school (or college) education is that you learn how to think. Whatever you are going to do in life, quick and original and nimble thinking is rewarded. That’s how humanity got to where it is today. The various facts and figures that you will learn in school will be forgotten shortly after you leave. In fact, even if you ask a PhD holder to take an exam shortly after leaving school he would probably fail too.
The “facts” that you learn in world history and world geography will probably even change with time, but if you can develop an ability to solve problems and face new situations and uncover the unknown then this will be an asset for you the rest of your life.
Another lasting benefit of a high school or college education is that you “learn how to learn” and develop a love of learning. Do you think that your learning process ends when you leave school? At age 18 or 22 will you have learned everything you need to know? As someone who is long past 18, I can say that learning can go on for the rest of your life. Magazines, radio, newspapers, TV, the Internet and who knows what information medium of the future all can supply you with a wealth of information. If you get into the habit of tuning into this flood of information and start enjoying the process then you will be learning for the rest of your life. What is “philosophy?” It literally means the love of knowledge and hopefully that is what you will develop by the time you end your formal studies.
One of the most important ingredients for success in life is keeping the company of good people. If you hang out in negative crowd, then you are going to sink to the level of your group. When you are in a formal education setting you can have a lot of good company. It comes in the form of teachers, fellow students and even the great scientists, artists, thinkers and doers of the past whose presence you can enjoy via books, film and recorded media. Hang out a bit with Shakespeare, Aristotle, Galileo, Buddha or Plato and you can’t go wrong.
Hopefully and most importantly, if you stay in a formal education environment you will learn the values that keep us civilized and moving in a positive direction. To be educated is not just a matter of being “smart” but it is a task of becoming “good.” A lot of very intelligent people have hurt humanity greatly. It is not enough to be intelligent, but it is of vital importance to learn what will help humanity and what will hurt it and to always act for the good of all.
These are the main reasons why education is so valuable. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, if you complete your high school or college course you will also get a certificate or credential that will help you to get a job! I mention this last because I am not a big believer in the certificates. It is what you are and what you can do that really matters and if formal education can improve you in these two areas, then you should continue as long as you can.
