Alas, I wish it were that simple. I have a few pixels on my 760C that work
great on certain colors (blue comes to mind) and on a black background, but fail
on red or remain blue. One pixel is partially stuck, and it will flicker under
blue only, but is fine everywhere else. A program, as described above, would
be great for picking out pixels that do not fail in a on/off-->white/black
situation.
