dead pixels on my Acer LCD

[QueBert]

I sort of expected it seeing how I paid $189 for a 24". I thought maybe they were just stuck since one's blue and one's red. I waited a long time before I set it up and now it's past the return date. Acer's dead pixel policy looks to be 4+, even with the blue one being smack dab in the middle and annoying as hell. I tried contacting Acer but have yet to hear back from them. Is there any chance they'd swap my LCD for one without the deal pixels for a price? I guess I don't mind dropping $$$ I guess if they'll do something about it.
