Dead pixels on ALL LCDs are normal.
Stop shouting.

I would try gently massaging first before I went through the replacement trouble/process.
There are many posts about reviving dead pixel or two.
Be glad you don't have a Dell where dead pixels are a way of life.

Dead Pixels cannot be revived. STUCK pixels, however, have some kind of chance, or so I've heard.

I was told by Apple that up to 3 dead pixels is acceptable. Beyond that you might have a case for getting it replaced. I had one pixel on my monitor that always shone red.
My current iMac has no dead or odd pixels that I have noticed.

Rub it! See how it goes. from right to left, or left to right. Don't be afraid to apply a nice amount of pressure, and be sure to use a non-abrasive cloth of some sort. Tell us how it goes. The chance is small, but it might work!

I had the same problem, but I have to agree with Tuishimi on this one, back when I didn't have enough to buy a PowerMac G5 with a nice Apple cinema, I had an old Dell F707P Flat Panel, I bought it second hand for about 150 Dollors and about every month I owned it, about 2 pixels would die. So I replaced it with my very old CRT after about 2 years, until recently when I purchased an Apple 20 Inch.

It was normal two years ago. LCD manufacturing processes have improved, and dead pixels are abnormal today. Some companies even gaurentee zero dead pixels.

I don't think it's your LCD that has a problem.
It's your shift or Caps Lock that is broken.
