Hi. My monitor is GB2488HSU IIyama. Sometimes i can see on screen weird little spot,screens:

Not my screens,but the same:

https://s12.postimg.org/93scju6t9/image.jpg

But this doesnt look like bad pixel. More like smudge or something. Also this doesnt appear always. Sometimes is visible,sometimes not. Any ideas?

From the other angle it looks like this:

Also why sometimes i can see this and sometimes not? Any explanation? [IMG]

Also why sometimes i can see this and sometimes not? Any explanation? Its hard to describe. For me its not dead pixel,because from other angle it looks white. From second angle looks like black smudge. Any ideas? And sometimes when i turn on monitor that "thing" is gone,sometimes its visible. I cant understand what can it be. THanks !

It's both. Unplug your gfx card. Soak it in hot water for 5-7 minutes. Plug it back in.

go down your super market and pick some of this

http://www.adswsupplies.com/userfiles/products/e_2579-1.jpg

its better then most commercial cleaners, especially in floor scrubbers, its not better then industrial stuff

�2, it can last 3 weeks, need 1 cap in a average bucket, and 3 caps in a floor scrubber which is 15 litres

not a dead pixel, that's for sure.

it's probably damage from being pressed in that spot or from when it was manufactured.

I have something similar (although yours is dark while mine are dark) in an iMac screen. a few spots can be seen on light background. it's just dust that could be cleaned if I disassembled the screen.

Ok i have found something similiar ,look:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn4wMQCDZ7E

In first day of use,
bright little spot was only visible on light blue colours when your looking at a side angle. Not when you're looking directly at the screen. What was that? Maybe backlight bleeding?
But why it dissapeared? And no i dont touch and remove this by finger. It dissapeared itself.
