Question

Why is there a small white dot on my LCD HDTV screen?

Answer 1

Probably because there is a "dead pixel" in the screen.

This sometimes happens due to misuse or manufacturers defects. You may want to go to an electronics store or have a specialist come to your TV and look at it.

Good luck!

Answer 2

LCD screen have a large number of pixels. In 720p sets, the pixel count can be from about 700k to about 1 million. In full 1080p sets, the pixel count is over 2 million. When the panels are made, there are a certain number that will ship with bad pixels or panels that will have pixels go bad early in the life of the panel. It's just part of the biz.

What you have isn't really a dead pixel, it sounds like you have a pixel stuck in the on position. You can't fix it, not worth having anyone else fix it. You have some options if you are under warranty.

Some makers don't count one bad pixel as being enough to let you get a new set. Some stores might have a different/better policy if you are still under the 30 days since purchase.

Investigate those options. You might be stuck with this panel.
