And its driving me crazy. Ive ha dthe computer for only a short time...I think I could send it in, but they probably make you have X number of dead pixels (where X > 1)

edit: and apparently pressing on the screen makes it auto-correct its deadness. lets see if this holds up.

so [luddite alert] pixels are related to the cpu and not the monitor?

nope, other way around. a pixel is one tiny luminescent square on your monitor. a dead one is black all the time.
