A stuck pixel is a bright dot of colour most noticeable when the rest of the screen is black. Stuck pixels are fairly common on high resolution LCD screens. Stuck pixels sometimes start working again with time unless they appear black on a white background, these are known as dead pixels.
JScreenFix repairs stuck pixels through rapid, repetitive operation and resonance. Most stuck pixels are repaired within 20 minutes. How do I check for stuck pixels?
What is screen burn-in?
Dark patches on a plasma screen are the result of screen burn-in. Burn-in occurs on plasma screens if an area of the screen does not change for a long period of time. For TV input, channel logos often burn into the screen. This can also occur on LCD screens and is more correctly referred to as image persistence.
JScreenFix can eliminate image persistence on LCD screens and reduce burn-in on plasma screens. How do I check for screen burn-in?
JScreenFix deluxe can prevent noticeable damage by monitoring how a screen is used and equalising burn-in patterns.
For LCD screens connected to a computer, the JScreenFix applet is the best solution. The JScreenFix applet can also be used to reduce screen burn-in on plasma screens when run in fullscreen mode.
JScreenFix deluxe is the recommended solution for computers connected to plasma screens. This utility monitors how the display is used and can equalise future damage automatically. It also includes support for defining templates to repair previous burn-in and reoccurring stuck pixels.
For PDAs, mobile phones and other portable devices supporting Java, the Java Midlet should be used.
For screens connected to a standalone DVD player, PixelProtector is the best solution.
The JScreenFix Java applet helps fix stuck pixels and image persistence on LCD screens and reduces burn-in on plasma screens. The applet runs safely inside a web browser, does not require installation and works with Windows, Linux and Mac computers.
JScreenFix repairs most stuck pixels in under 20 minutes, and mild screen burn-in within 12 hours.
To fix a stuck pixel
Increase your display resolution setting to the maximum supported by your screen. Launch the JScreenFix applet (below) and position the window over the stuck pixel. After 5 minutes move the window and observe the results. If the pixel remains stuck, repeat. From extensive testing, most stuck pixels are repaired in less than 20 minutes. If a stuck pixel remains after running JScreenFix for 20 minutes it probably can not be fixed by JScreenFix. You might like to try a pixel massage. Sometimes stuck pixels return after a period of time, JScreenFix deluxe can automatically repair reoccurring stuck pixels when you are not using your computer.
To reduce screen burn-in
Disable your screen saver. Launch the JScreenFix applet (below) and enter fullscreen mode. This is achieved by pressing F11 in most browsers, if this fails you will need to consult the documentation for your Internet browser. It is important that JScreenFix fills the screen fully or you may suffer additional unequal burn-in. Leave the applet running for about an hour and observe the results. If you notice an improvement, continue running JScreenFix until the burn-in is more acceptable.
Please note that completely removing screen burn-in is impossible but it will fade with time. The only way to equalise a screen image is to burn-in the parts of the screen that have had less use. JScreenFix deluxe is a preventative measure that monitors screen usage and equalises the screen when you are not using your computer.

JScreenFix deluxe (Mac Support Soon)
JScreenFix deluxe is the most effective application available for fixing stuck pixels, reducing screen burn-in and preventing future damage to a screen.
By monitoring screen usage, JScreenFix deluxe can remove future screen burn-in and image persistence. The application is ideal for anyone with a computer connected to a large screen susceptible to burn-in.
JScreenFix deluxe runs silently in the system tray and optimises the screen automatically or when triggered by the user.
A free evaluation version of JScreenFix deluxe is available online. Repair modes in this version are fully functional for 20 minutes per session.
The JScreenFix deluxe application monitors the display and calculates an inverse burn image. By displaying the inverse burn image when the computer is not being used, burn-in can be equalised. This will mean that bright and dark patches will not be noticeable and uniform brightness across the whole screen is achieved.
For existing burn-in, JScreenFix deluxe includes a number of repair strategies. By defining a template of where burn-in has occurred, previous burn-in can be equalised. JScreenFix deluxe includes a number of preset templates for equalising common screen burn-in, for example 4:3 burn-in on a 16:9 (widescreen) display. Other strategies include pure white burn (as recommended by Apple) and snow burn, which has proven to be very effective at fixing image persistence on LCD displays.
Some stuck pixels return periodically. JScreenFix deluxe protects against reoccurring stuck pixels by displaying the JScreenFix pixel fixing pattern when you are not using your computer. By defining a template of stuck pixel positions, JScreenFix deluxe can both equalise screen burn-in and fix stuck pixels at the same time.
JScreenFix deluxe runs silently in the system tray and can be configured to repair a display after the mouse has been stationary or between specific times of day.
JScreenFix deluxe supports multiple monitors and works with Windows and Linux computers. Mac compatibility can not be guaranteed at this time.
Technical considerations
To maintain cross-platform support, JscreenFix operates independently from the operating system's screen saver. Users are advised to disable screen savers and power saving features to maximize the effectiveness of JScreenFix deluxe.
The inverse burn image converges to a mid level gray when burn-in equalisation is complete.
Please note that because the brightness level and burn-in characteristics differ between screen makes and models, JScreenFix deluxe can not guarantee perfect equalisation on all screens.
Some hardware accelerated graphical components, such as 3D graphics and video overlays can not be fully monitored and equalised by JScreenFix deluxe.
Improper use of JScreenFix deluxe, for example defining an inaccurate burn-in template, can damage a screen. Users must carefully observe the effects of running JScreenFix, especially in the early stages. The developers of JScreenFix accept no responsibility for additional damage to a screen as a result of running JScreenFix deluxe.
