Thanks so much for the response. I tried what you recommended and, like
magic, the "stuck" pixels disappeared. How did you know what to do?
Anyway, thanks! You rock!

Recently purchased a 32" Sony XBR 1080p LCD TV to use as my monitor.
Computer graphics card (ATI HD2400) was connected to TV via HDMI
cable. Two weeks after installation, started getting a 1/4" high
column of what appears to be stuck LCD pixels center screen (white
lower 2/3, red upper 1/3, looks like a tiny kitchen match). It appears
constantly on my Windows desktop (either blank or over any photo I use
for the desktop wallpaper) but is never on the LCD screen during
Windows startup, when viewing any other program, video, TV or even the
same desktop photo opened and viewed full screen in, say, Photoshop,
etc. If they were true "stuck" pixels, they should be there all the
time, right? Has to be within Windows. Any ideas what could cause
this? Any help would be appreciated.
