New monitor, dead pixel

[Planefreak]

I literally just got my new monitor out of the box and setup and after installing the drivers I began to look for an imperfections so if an RMA is necessary I can take care of that immediately. I found a dead pixel.

Is one dead pixel reason enough to rma a monitor? I bought it off newegg and it's unclear whether or not dead pixels are covered. Acer is also very unclear. It says they cover parts, labor and backlight for three years. Anyone know?

And yes, I understand I will have to pay to ship it there.

i did a copy and paste from newegg:

Thanks, I didn't see that on there but that's what I was looking for.

Just found another dead pixel. Not sure if I should be hoping for more or praying for less.

8 dead pixels is pretty much the norm for all retailers and manufacturers.
What brand is the LCD? You might try and contact the manufacturer and complain.

It's an Acer monitor. I will definitely send an email or something, it never hurts.
