Should I try and exchange my 32" Westinghouse LCD TV at BestBuy for dead pixels?

I picked up the Westinghouse 32w6 a few weeks ago for a great price. It's a great TV, but this one has 6+ dead pixels - one of which is bright white and near the center of the screen. Given these circumstances, do you think I should attempt to exchange it at BB for another? I'm asking because I'm not really sure what a "normal" amount of dead pixels would be for an LCD TV this size. I do know that a cousin of mine got the 42" version and it has absolutely zero dead ones, so I have to wonder if I could do better. Any comments are appreciated!

If you can't rub them out then I'd definitely exchange for another unit.

Yeah, I tried rubbing the big white one, but it wouldn't budge. I've never actually gotten that to work...maybe I don't rub hard enough.

I've got a similar problem too from a while back....I got 32w4 (dvd combo) and after a week of use, a green dead pixel pop out of no where. It really annoyed me and was able to get it replaced. so far..no dead pixels

Best buy, they're ok. But they almost goofed up with the exhange, they could've given me a free 42 " plasma :Q.

Well that would have been a shame!
