Dead Pixel?

Post by Unholy »

Whenever I die in BF2 looking up at the sky I seem to get what looks like a dead pixel near the center. Thing is it always only happens a few seconds after I die as shown in the countdown. It goes back to normal until I die again and it hapeens again. :wth: I don't see it on a full blue screen either. Could this just be a graphical problem or a dead pixel that comes and goes?

If its just in BF2 I wouldnt call it a dead pixel, it may have problems lighting to a certain color.

The game or the monitor? Because it just seems weird that it's normal for a few secs then that black dot appears on the same screen.

Yeah I used dead pixel buddy and cycled through them but it doesn't show up on any colors. Only the CPU is overclocked, the GPU is stock and the RAM is underclocked.

another thing is if it IS a dead pixel, we will not be able to see it in screenshots since they aren't "pictures taken by your monitor of what's on screen"..they're a picture of what's being sent to the monitor.
