Sandy-
I had the very same problem when I first got my 755CE. I understood
that dead pixels were a fact of life, but the fact that the pixel was
orange and close to the middle of my screen was too much for me!
Luckily IBM Pc Direct was great about the exchange and even paid for
the shipping (although Airborne Express keeps sending me bills, but
that's another story <grin>). So I guess it all boils down to how high
your tolerance level is. Some people seem to get used to the dead
pixel(s), while others (like me) find that the little buggers start to
grate on them over time. BTW, I can't remember what is the exact number
of dead pixels before IBM considers a screen defective(something like 7
or 8), but I've heard it's the lowest in the industry.
