Does this look like a dead or stuck pixel?

Hello, guys. I have Samsung s34e790c monitor. Had it about 1 1/2 years, I probably use it about 6 hours every other day. I just noticed today right in the center a grey mark. I'm trying to figure if it's a stuck or dead pixel.

Can I get your guy's opinions? Thanks

You can download the image and zoom all the way in. The image is good resolution.

Looks like a bit of dust ect. A dead pixel usually shows up red on a black background.

The pixels are the smaller lattice. If you mean the much bigger grey smudge then that's definitely not a pixel.

It's likely something stuck between the backlight and the LCD. Possibly dust or an insect.

The screen is sealed af though, lol. How the heck did dust or a bug randomly get inside.

I guess I'm happy it's not a pixel that's bad, I'm not sure what's worse though lol

Get a can of compressed air and try to blow it out of sight.

Very few screens are sealed because it makes cooling harder, you usually have to pay much more for those.

It's hard to tell from pictures online but it looks like it's probably got vents along the top of the step in the back of the screen.
