Dead row of pixels on my LED TV?
I use a 21 inch LED TV as a computer monitor. Today seemingly out of the blue, a horizontal row of black pixels appeared on the screen. This is present on all inputs and in the menus as well as when the Tv is powering up. Is there any way to fix this and is this something that happens over time with LED TV's? It was working earlier in the day, and when i left it for about 4 hours and came back to it and turned it on, the pixels were dead.

Take a screenshot and compare the line of pixels to that. If the screenshot doesn't show the line of pixels in the same spot when you view it on your monitor, then you have a defective monitor.

Even if you could get it working again, chances are that it won't be long before it does it again.

I'd start looking into a new TV if I was you.

Do you have dedicated GPU? If so, remove the GPU and test it with onboard video. If it's the same its the screen IMO if not its the GPU.
