Red Stuck Pixel Makes Me Depressed

Have you tried this first, it works in some cases:

I have the same problem with my Imac! One stuck red pixel.
But I didn´t noticed it until I changed my background picture to a bw one, and this was more than 14 days after I bought it.
I cann´t believe how many people have this same issue.

Really, so the literally hundred of thousands of iMac owners without dead pixels who don't come in here saying they don't have any, don't matter to you?

It happens once in a while yes, that's something every LCD manufacturer has to deal with. Get it exchanged when it bothers you, i have one too, but it doesn't bother me one bit, as i only notice it when i'm looking straight at it. It's not dead centre, so that's ok.

I think I might have a small stuck pixel, but I'm not too sure lol, what I do have though is a bit of blacklight bleeding and I got my computer just a week ago! I ordered mine online so what would I have to do if I lets say want to return it? would I be able to go to the apple store?

Yeah, my MacBook Pro of two weeks has one. It sucks but nothing I can really do about it. I'll try the software trick. How long do you guys recommend using them. Leaving it for 5 hours seams a bit excessive.

wasn't thtere a potential solution of pressing it slighty and it resetting in some cases? There's a thread or two about it. Use at own risk.
