It's a potential problem with all devices that use a screen of that type, so common that 1 or 2 messed pixels normally won't get you a refund. Although I did manage to get my store to return mine so it's always worth a try.

I think you should return it. Besides, I think there is a free 1 year warranty, so if I were you, I'd send it in.

I sure am glad that my DS didnt suffer from bad pixels when i bought it, but recently one came up, but it's in a "good" position and doesnt affect the "graphics" much...

I had to return my psp 3 times to gamestop thanks to too many pixels. No problems with my DS though. It's just the type of screen that is used.

I had one broken pixel on my old blue Phat DS, but I traded that in for a DSL and it's perfect. :)

I have a stuck green pixel at the bottom right hand corner of my touch screen. It's barely noticeable I didnt even notice it for about a week. Luckily it is green which is one of my favorite colors. Other wise I would have sued the pants of nintendo for no apparent reason.
