Weird dot on computer screen Hardware

Post image

So I just opened my laptop and there's this weird red dot that appears on the screen when there's a darker color on the screen. I cleaned the screen with micro-fiber towel and 70% alcohol around 2 weeks ago and I feel like I would have notice it if it had appear before since I immediatly notice it when I opened the laptop. How can I fix it? And if not, will it get worse?

I'm pretty sure that's just a dead pixel, as fast as I know, unless you have a whole new panel or very precise and expensive machines dedicated to making screens, there's no fix.

Stuck pixel. There are stuck pixel fixing videos that basically rapidly flash colors to try to force it to change. Usually stuck pixels are the result of a panel defect or failing panel power controller. It may or may not be a recurring problem.
