Good dead pixel fixer?

Where can i find a video or pictures i can play over and over again to try and fix one dead pixel.
I returned my first video to the apple store cause it had 3 but then this is one tiny one and isnt even completely dead sometimes it appears in dark pictures sometimes it doesnt.

Dead Pixels can NOT be fixed.

Stuck Pixels however, Can.

Here's the Pixel Fixer for Stuck Pixels.

I've heard the disk mode scan test can help fix stuck pixels cause there are red, blue, and green screens.

Yeah, you can but it doesn't really "fix" it. You'd have to manually go back and forth and that's not fast enough.

dead stay dead forever. stuck pixels can change or disappear.
whenever a few dead pixels float up on my screen, i use the disk mode scan test to find them, and sometimes when i go back to the movie, they are gone. a temp fix, i guess.

For 2 dead pixels? Return? No. Why not live with it like everyone else. If it was like 7 or 10? Yeah return it then.

I would return it. Dead ones are not fixable, and it is a factory defect, so Apple must respond, and give you a new one
