Get it replaced under warranty - or, take it back to the retailer. Did you purchase it locally? If it was some place like Best Buy, then, yes - by all means, take it back for another one. Life is too short to have to live with dead pixels. :(

I don't know about HP, but Dell allows 5 or 6 dead pixels in an LCD screen.
They have a disclaimer on their website.

Something to do with cutting corners to make LCDs affordable.
I looked into it when I discovered 2 dead pixels on my 17" LCD screen.

EDIT: In saying that, if you bought it from a store, they may replace it for you
