RIP dead pixels

Dead Pixel Buddy lets you scour your LCD display for dead pixels that can't exhibit the correct color output. The program paints your screen with one of the colors that comprise a pixel, making the dead pixels more conspicuous to the naked eye.

What's the point?: If it can't fix them...why point them out. If, by chance, you didn't
notice a dead pixel before...why point it out so you notice it
every time you look at your screen... knowing there is nothing
you can do about it?

Dead pixel in CRT monitor

I have a dead pixel - or at least part of one - near the middle of my Dell CRT monitor, which is strange as I have only seen them in TFTs before.
