Hello i need help a few days ago, black pixels that looked like a beetle were moving on the monitor. It's in place now and I have a black spot in the middle of the monitor and I don't know what to do with it.

    That is very interesting. I would contact DELL tech support and see if they can assist you. Very unique situation.

    but it's not a dead pixel, but rather a dead beetle between the screen and the cover. so if I should take it for service or it can be opened and cleaned somehow.

    Run Deadpix and see if that fixes it

    DeadPix can fix stuck or dead pixels by rapidly cycling the color value of the pixel. Please note that this tool does not provide a 100% success rate.

    You can fix stuck pixels, dead pixels however are a fairly low chance of recovery

    An insect got between the glass substrate and it's now lodged itself dead in the center of the monitor, and you cannot get to it because the glass is in the way?

    if its a beetle then you should be able to use a can of air and push it out?

    its not inside the liquid part of the display its between 2 layers with a gap.
