Dead Pixel in Macbook Pro 17 HD Penryn after 6 weeks

I got my new Macbook Pro now for about 6 weeks. Of course I love it, because I got the total package: 17′ Display 1920*1080 pixels with LED Backlight, 4GB of Rams, 200GB HD with 7.200 rpm… everything you need to be happy :). But at one of the last days - I can’t believe my eyes - I’ve seen some dead pixels at the top of the display.

I’ve read some news the last weeks, that other persons had similar problems too. But most of them only get this problems after “Sleep mode” or something else. Not the same problem I have.

I’ve sent this picture to my local Apple dealer, they told me that they can replace the display but it will take about 2 weeks… 2 weeks without working? That’s impossible.

Now I’m not sure what I should do, the pixels make me nervous:). I wanted to post a complete review of the Macbook, now you people have to wait.

I’ll let you people know what I do the next days. So stay tuned!
