Put it in a different room than you sleep in, turn off all power saving and screensavers. Then flash it over night. Well, might as well do it as long as possible.

It's a free test and if it works you won't have to deal with customer service.

...Therefore, a certain number of subpixel anomalies is considered acceptable. Rejecting all but perfect LCD panels would significantly increase the retail price for products using LCD displays. These factors apply to all manufacturers using LCD technology--not just Apple products.

If you suspect your display contains a high number of pixel anomalies, take your Apple product to an Apple Authorized Service Provider for closer examination. There may be a charge for the evaluation.

The manufacturing process isn't perfect. You're lucky you have only 1 dead pixel.

Besides, if you try and complain about 1 pixel, the rep will just laugh at you. It has to be between 7-12 pixels (depending on company) and they have to be within a small window, not the entire screen (usually).

I was just being an ass

I actually like Macs, but I do more than multimedia work on my computer so I opt for a PC
