Just got my new PB and was curious to know how I can check for any possible dead pixels on my screen. Is there software that runs a test or something? So far I see none but you never know I guess.

I just got my PB yesterday and this screen seems flawless no dead pixels not white spots (whatever that is)

I'm afraid to test it now.

What I can't see can't hurt me

I've got a 6 month old TiBook - it appears to have developed a pixel stuck on ?green? What can I do about it? I'm going to test using these tools, but I'm unsure as to what to do - anyway of fixing them?
