Hoo boy. I feel good.

I felt crappy at first, because I got a dead pixel on my 22" monitor I bought last November. I tried flashing random colors with pixel saving software, but it didn't work.

Then I turned the monitor off, grabbed a wet cloth, applied pressure to the spot with my finger, turned the monitor back on, let go, and VOILA! The pixel that was stuck bright green is back to normal.

Apparently it might happen again as pixels that stick tend to stick on multiple occasions, but at least I found a fix.
