aWell... I installed Eizo Color Navigator, latest version, on my laptop, so the laptop calibrates my Eizo CS240 when starting while docked. When the program switched to a black full screen in preparation of calibration and profiling, I saw it...

A white pixel in a sea of black.

A STUCK PIXEL on an >€700 monitor, only 20 months old, and AFAIK, it's a class II device, which means that it is allowed to have X dead/stuck pixels per such and such resolution. (In all honesty, I've never encountered a Class I monitor for consumer use, which has to be perfect during the time of its warranty)

I was a good way into ranting, when Color Navigator finished its task and switched back to a window, so I immediately set a solid black background in Windows, fully expecting to see a stuck white pixel appearing. Only...

It wasn't there.

So I restarted Color Navigator, and sure as hell, there it was again.

In a screen that should be completely black, Color Navigator has ONE white pixel. I've never seen that before. I'll have to check on the desktop, where I just updated CN, but didn't recalibrate/reprofile.

I wonder if I should report this as some sort of bug.
