Defective pixels are pixels on a liquid crystal display (LCD) that are not performing as expected. Of those, a dead pixel never shows light, and a stuck pixel always shows light (typically red, blue or green), when the device is active. The ISO standard ISO 13406-2 distinguishes between three different types of defective pixels,[1][2] while hardware companies tend to have further distinguishing types.

Those are either a pixel issue or a graphics adapter/ram issue. Do you have another monitor to try to help narrow it down?

The green dots dont appear at all anymore. They just went away shortly after that.

I didn't change anything :/

Flaky cable connection? Can you get the dots to come back if you wiggle the cables around?
