dead pixel

Display's dark spot

A dead pixel is a malfunctioning point on a digital display that remains permanently black, failing to illuminate regardless of what image is shown.

Unlike stuck pixels, which display a fixed color, dead pixels are completely unresponsive.

A few dead pixels are common on LCD and LED screens and often go unnoticed unless you're looking for them: I noticed a dead pixel right in the center of my new monitor.
