I just got a Toshiba Qosmio G25 and discovered a dead pixel near the bottom of the screen? Should I tolerate this or return it? What are the odds that I'll get a pixel perfect screen if I replace it?
Thanks.

Dead pixels are common, and if it's only one dead pixel, you shouldn't notice it much in your everyday use.

Do you see a dead pixel on the display unit?
Do you accept a scratch in the paint of your new car?
After many years and dozens of laptops at office and home, none have a dead pixel on arrival and we just return them. If the supplier balks, we escalate it to the credit card company and more.
I've never lost on this argument and will not accept such a high price model with a defect. Yes, after a year (the warranty) such can happen, but unacceptable when new.

to spend that much money on a notebook and have a dead pixel is sick!!!!!!.
