is this a dead pixel?

[paOol]

i watched this video on youtube of this guy using his wiimote to turn any surface into a multi touch whiteboard. so i got my wiimote, and tried it, but i dont have a Infrared pen, so i tried using TV remotes. that didnt work too well, and i also tried my digital camera's lil red flash light (i dont know if its IR or not), and i pressed down the button a few times on accident so i took pics of my screen upclose basically.

a little bit later, i noticed a tiny lil dot on my screen. i Dont think its a dead pixel though.
If im looking at a completely white background, that one dot will stick out a bit. if its a black background, it doesnt stick out as much, but i can still see its there.

this is making me sad =\.
i tried this deadpixel test

and it seems i dont have a deadpixel, so what is this lil bright dot on my screen!?!?!?

will it go away in time?

i turned my laptop off for about 20 minutes.
im not 100% certain but the dot looks to be a little smaller.

If it's a defective pixel then there's nothing much you can do to remove it and stuck pixels come and go away but defective, seldom. Just pretend it's not there.

the thing is, its not a dead pixel because i tried a few tests.
and when i was playing Warcraft, the dot was completely gone.
i would alt tab back and forth and the dot would appear and disappear.

tomorrow im going to install ubuntu and see if its still there.
