Iv'e heard about bugs in computers but this is ridicolus

ok, so last night I was looking at my monitor when I noticed that 4 pixels were dead. Later on these four pixels started to move around my monitor where they wanted. We have been plagued with little black fly all this summer and I have discovered that that is what it is. I have a bug (fly) in my computer, well moniter.

How can I get it out, it is really annoying

btw it's a apple pro 20" lcd monitor

Let your monitor get hot ? and make some kfc ?

Leave it on. Eventually the fly will fry then decompose!

The 20" Cinema has a lot of pixels.

Pixels are small. Flys are big when compared to pixels. How sure are you it's a fly? Send it to Apple anyways. You might get lucky and get the new one.

Bugs

Guess how computer bugs got the name. - http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/i...0/h96566kc.htm

The First "Computer Bug"

Moth found trapped between points at Relay # 70, Panel F, of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator while it was being tested at Harvard University, 9 September 1945. The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, with the entry: "First actual case of bug being found". They put out the word that they had "debugged" the machine, thus introducing the term "debugging a computer program".
In 1988, the log, with the moth still taped by the entry, was in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Computer Museum at Dahlgren, Virginia.

it's happened before!

In a macaddict magazine a few years ago, some guy submitted a picture of a fly inside one of the legs of his apple studio display. If I can find the magazine, I'll scan it for you. Could be a strange quality control problem.
