Dots on Your LCD TV? Fix Those 'Stuck Pixels' Yourself
That annoying, unblinking colored dot on your LCD monitor is a stuck pixel, essentially a door that's jammed open. If you're feeling bold, take a piece of cloth, place it over the offending dot for padding, and use a pen point or finger tip to gently massage the pixel open, pushing carefully so as not to break the glass. If you're too chicken to do it yourself, you can always hit up JScreenFix.com for a program that can help.

I have a Gateway 19" monitor that has one annoying stuck pixel. I wiped the screen of dust about 17 days after I bought it. Sure enough, I got a stuck pixel. I called Gateway to return the monitor as it is obviously defective. They told me that this is considered normal and tough luck. So, I tried all of these tricks and none of them worked. Ever since then, every couple of months, whenever I wipe the screen I get another stuck pixel! Most of the time they go away on their own, but I still have that original annoying red dot. So, now my monitor is covered with dust because I am too afraid to clean it. My advice to everybody is to understand the standard on dead pixels (ISO 13406-2) before spending too much money on a LCD. Manufacturers do not guarantee their work with LCDs! This means you might just be "stuck" with something you didn't expect.
