A weird looking dead pixel just appeared on my XB271H monitor

So just today, a weird looking dead pixel appeared to the center of my screen.

Here is a picture of it I took with a camera: https://imgur.com/LZkKftU

With the weird surrounding shadows it's a bit less than 1cm in diameter and annoying as hell since it's right at the center of the screen.

The monitor is Acer Predator XB271H. My monitor always automatically goes to sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.

The guarantee from the store expired in August 2019. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks a lot!

The eHow wiki has posted a tutorial for fixing dead pixels on an LCD monitor. Turn off your computer. Get yourself a damp cloth, so that you don't scratch your screen. GENTLY apply light pressure to the area where the dead pixel is. While applying pressure, turn on your computer and screen. Remove pressure and the dead pixel should be gone.
