I had my iPad for years, it is old and today while something black was on the screen (normal, I was looking at somthing black) I noticed some tiny greenish (barely noticed) pixel things on the screen, they are only noticeable when I turn the brightness up a little and I did google "black" and had a look at pure black images full of nothing and had a look at a few.

These defects are absolutely on my screen, it is not dirt or anything becouse I wiped it. They are not annoying but I want to know in case it's bad.

Apparently there is a thing called dead pixel where there are pixels that lay on a screen and do nothing, but I am not sure if this happens on IPad becouse the times I saw about it was on somthing else.

    bright green against a black background would be a stuck pixel, not dead. Dark pixel against light background would be dead. The difference to the user is not critical, but they are distinct.

Yes, your iPad (any device with an LCD display) can get a dead (off) or a stuck (always on) pixel.

Is it bad?

No. It will not affect the the performance of the device. It’s analogous to a blown light in your house; while not detrimental, it can be annoying.

    Yes, if your house had 7 million light bulbs, each dimmable. Because that is how many R, G or B dots there are on a Retina display.
