right in the middle of the screen, only shows up on light colored stuff as a black dot.

since i have a Dell LCD, i can just give them a call, and they will send me out a new one, right?
 
If less than 30 days, yes Dell will ship out a new one. but if over 30 days, they may ship a refurb.
 
Contact Dell for an RMA. Tell them it's real annoying to have a dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
 
Give Dell a call, they will send you a new one. However, it might have even more dead pixels, but that's always a risk isn't it?
 
I'd probably think twice about swapping it for one unlit pixel.
You could send it back, but that's a huge pain and it's very likely the next one will be worse. You might get one with a pixel that's stuck green for example. An unlit pixel or two is the least annoying defect an LCD can have, and perfect ones are pretty rare.
 
yeah, but it is right in the middle of the screen as a black dot:(

i am calling them anyway.
