What do you see when you move your mouse where those pixels are?

It could be that the monitor needs replacing, however there are a few steps you can follow to try and resolve the issue. Refer to this article for guidance.

The article is referring to a stuck pixel, not a dead one.

You could either get a new monitor, or you could try a new cable if you have one laying around. I was installing dual monitors at some offices, and 2 different DVI cables were "bad". I tried them in different computers, and with different monitors, and the picture wasn't correct.

its not STUCK its DEAD. the LCD or LED has red,green, blue to make up all possible colors of light when one is single color, black, white or anything in between its means the led portion is dead. its HARDWARE not software so mucking around with software that claims to fix it wont. Yes there are cases where you can flash the monitor in every color to see if the led or backlight will come on, most of the time those are just to waste your time.

1 dead pixel do need to replace it, under warranty most companies wont replace unless 4 or 8 dead pixels in the same 1 inch area are visible.

good luck

Wrong. Black basically means it's dead. Red, Green or Blue mean that's it's stuck.

This has happened to me a couple of times and I've always managed to resolve the issue with JS Screenfix.
