Those white or blue tint dots you get on your LCD screen and have likely seen them.
I always thought they were the screen dying or you do indeed have a dead pixel.
Apparently not. HDMI and DVI cables which are faulty or fail create these as well so simply replacing a cable can fix these up. They apparently are called "sparkles".
You lean stuff all the time, I did not know this.

I've never seen anything like this, but I've heard of sparkles on very long lengths of HDMI cables, usually cheap ones.

Never heard or seen of, but thats what Dell Zero Defect Warranty is for right? :P

I actually have this on an LCD and when home going to change the cable to see if it sorts it.
