An insect inside your LCD: I had one of those!

This also happened to me once on an older LCD monitor.. damn thing was stuck in there forever after I managed to squish it

I am perplexed. If it's an insect, it is a VERY small one (literally like the size of 1 pixel?).

It certainly moved exactly like an insect. I'm quite confused as to what kind of insect it would be, that inserts itself into my monitor...

There are some very small critters that live in our homes:

heh, I'm sure you're kidding but... I tried squishing it. If there really was something under there, it would have died.

Nope, mine seemed pretty-well immune to attempting to press on the screen.

Really? So you weren't joking? How could it get in there, and how could it more about so easily?

Small bugs are often very resistant to squishing.
