This is going to sound weird but here goes. I had what I thought was a dead pixel on my LG monitor. Tried the usual things that make you feel good and are meant to help but usually do nothing; gently rubbing the area around the dead pixel with a microfibre cloth, running one of those flashing screen-fixer video/program thingies. Of course, it did exactly what I knew those things would do...nothing.

This is the weird part...I actually think it is a fruit fly that has gotten in behind the panel and has died. And it didn't even have the decency to die in say the bottom left corner, nope it died right in my field of view.

The reason I think it is a dead fruit fly and not a dead pixel is it looks like it is a bit larger than a pixel, has some form to it, is light grey in colour and is not just a simple black dot like a dead pixel would look. That and in the past few weeks there were a couple of fruit flies flying around the outside of the monitor.

Anyone ever have something like this happen? And were you able to do something to some how get rid of it that doesn't involve taking the panel apart? Not sure if it will dry up and decompose and move on its own or if this bug is now a feature of the monitor.

The monitor is only a couple of years old and I do not really want to have to replace it if my OCD doesn't allow me to look past it, or I can't somehow get it to move or if it doesn't just rot and decompose away on its own.
