Found a dead pixel. Worth exchanging for a new one?

[Ace829]

Hi, I've had my Galaxy S III since launch and I noticed about two days ago that there is a dead pixel near the middle of the screen. It's been bothering me since then and I was wondering if it was worth exchanging for a new one. The reason why is because I'm afraid that more dead pixels might pop up during the course of the phone's usage. Also, if there is a way to fix it that would be appreciated as well.

I would go ahead and exchange it. It may be a little inconvienient now but it isn't worth dealing with more dead pixels later on down the road.

Here are some resources on fixing dead pixels, but I don't know if they will work on a SGS3 or not.

Dead pixel? mmmm.....

Was there a will? Anything going to probate? More importantly....did you give it a proper buriel?
