Stuck pixel on x100t?

I bought my x100t couple months ago and I just noticed a super small green or white pixel on my LCD screen and it looks like and it’s hardly noticeable. I can’t seem to see it if I transfer the files over to my computer. Should I be concerned about this pixel on my LCD screen? It also disappears when I focus on something.

Can you take a pic of your screen? Is it always there regardless of what's on the screen (e.g. in the menu, or looking at the scene, or playing back)? Could it be the focus point, can you move the focus point and see if it will move around as well? Or, you can play back a picture to see if it's still there.

Hopefully it's just a dead pixel on the LCD and not on the sensor. But either way, you should still be under warranty, just send it in.

I had such bright pixels on my X-T20 at the same place on the display. You may apply pixel mapping available under I. Q. I guess X-100T should have the same function.

yeah it seems just the LCD. Here is a picture. I can still see it on the playback function on my x100t but I don’t believe I can see it on my computer so I think it’s just the LCD

if it's there at exactly the same spot no matter what is on the screen (menu, playback, live view, ...) then it's very likely a dead pixel of the LCD screen. Warranty should cover it, try contacting Fujifilm for a replacement/repair.

I bought this used. I dont know if its covered under warranty, thats why i was wondering if i should be worried about it.

Probably not, unless it's certified refurbished and the seller has a warranty. I guess you just have to leave with it, still better than a dead pixel on the sensor.

If it really bugs you, seems like a replacement LCD is about $27-30 on eBay:

Doesn't seem to be too hard to replace if you're comfortable with tinkering:

I don’t believe the X100T has the pixel mapping option. Do you think this issue is a big deal if it’s just on LCD?

I noticed that I did not explain precisely. I meant on the PC monitor I saw the bright pixel at the same location for a couple of photos. Then I applied pixel mapping to that dead pixel. That dead pixel was not on the LCD panel of the camera.
