Dead Pixel?
I am starting to think I have a dead pixel there is a little dot on my screen and I am positive its nothing on the screen I have already tried to swipe it off. Is it possible to get a dead pixel with a new iMac?

Yes. You may have to get used to it being there.

Do you own the Pixar movie Cars? I've read on several different AV forums that folks have successfully used that movie to "jog loose" a dead pixel. Literally leave it looping overnight for a couple nights and it's supposed to work like magic. Never tried it personally, though.
There are probably programs you can download that try to do the same thing. |

No Styfle you're a little behind here. He exchanged that one last week for a new one but the new one was messing up pretty bad with some possible hardware issues so he took it back to BB and they gave him this one.
Pay attention!

you could ask best buy to swap the screen with your last imac.
i guess it would be easier to just try another new one.

They told me to just bring it back, and they will swap it out again.
