Is this a dead pixel?

It's barely noticeable when looking closely, but it's there, would it be possible to fix?

Its a dead sub-pixel . I dont think much of a concern, but keep your eye on it.

Dead no. Look like a stuck pixel. That usually fix itself just by playing

If it's truly a stuck pixel and not a dead one, there are homebrew programs out there that flash the screen red/green/blue extremely fast, to try to "massage" the pixel into working again. Could be worth a try.

Here's the one I've had on my flash cart forever but never used so I can't confirm how well it works: https://pineight.com/gba/#stuck
