Flies stuck in LCD screen

A

abc

I have Samsung 740t monitor that shows several tiny flies on the
screen. I can only assume they are between the backface of the LCD and
the lamp assembly and are showing as shadows about 1-2mm long. I'm
assuming this as the LCD assembly itself is sealed airtight?? I don't
have this problem with my IIyama or a cheapo Mitec LCD is it a Samsung
problem?.

They look to all intents like dead pixels but they are definitely
flies. We call them Summer or Thunder flies in the UK as they also get
behind picture frame glass etc. and make their appearance around this
time of year.

Anyone had this before and what is best way to remove?

thanks

yes, I have them on my Samsung 193T and Dell M60 notebook
screen.........they have been there since the Wheat ripening as they breed
during this period.

I have done nothing yet but just might lift the top of my Dell to see if
they can be removed.

Why don't you try sucking them out with a vacuum cleaner?

Well if they're only in your Samsung then sure, it's a
Samsung problem... but I doubt Samsung or most (if any) of
the others test against possible places an insect might get
stuck... insects can get in most anything not deliberately
meant to be completely sealed.

Try gently shaking it, but very gently. Try a vacuum
cleaner or when these things fail, take it apart.
