I've just got a brand new computer monitor, a HP w2408h, and theres a tiny blue spec on it?

Q: When the background is black, or another dark colour, you can see it. But whenever the background turns light, it vanishes. Also, whenever i hover my cursor over it, it dissapears. Thanks

A: It definitely is a defective pixel. It may be completely dead if it's appearing as you explained. It's possible that some of the other colors are burned out (each pixel is made of red/blue/green). You can try rubbing that area lightly, make sure it's LIGHTLY. Press it too hard and you could crack the LCD, and that's not covered under warranty. if it's just a loose pixel, rubbing it lightly could re-seat the pixel properly and get it working again. Remember, LIGHTLY & be CAREFUL. Else the screen you have bought is for very high professional usage (designing and gaming) which is suppose to be flawless. Better idea is to get the replacement. As per my experience i have seen this problem expanding. So why to take chance.
