Help, my OCD is kicking in! -> 2 stuck pixels on laptop

[amnesiac]

Just realized my laptop's LCD has 2 stuck pixels (red, visible on blue and black backgrounds). Watched DVDs before and never realized they were there but I just calibrated it and -boom- there they are. Now I keep finding my eye drifting towards one of the buggers (~1 inch from bottom of screen).

Tried 'massaging' it out but that didn't seem to help. 🙁

2 weeks.
Manufacturers usually won't take back a laptop for 2 stuck pixels in a not-so-visible area of the screen. 🙁

thats true, i got lucky(sorta) and had a bright white in the middle of the screen, so they took it back.

When manufacturers do replace your screen, do they usually give you a new laptop, or
just a new screen ?

New screen. I've had the LCD replaced in my Inspiron 8200 twice due to dead pixels/watermarking and each time they only replaced the screen. If the problem is severe enough and causes repeat problems, then I'm sure they'd replace the whole system at one point.

Did the description in the advertisement say it came with two dead pixels? Theywill replace it if it really has dead pixels.
