    How concerned should I be about this flaw in an XPS 9550 4k display?

    I just received a new-to-me Dell XPS 9550 with the 4k touch display. The condition seemed excellent until I noticed a smudge on the display that turned out to not be a smudge but something wrong with it internally--2-3 dozen pixels appear to be affected in the shape of a scraggly U. Overall size is about the size of this O, just below the bezel. It is only visible on light backgrounds.

    I'd attach a photo, but cannot see how to do this on this forum. It tells me I haven't uploaded any media, but not how to upload media :)

    What would cause this issue with the panel?

    Could it get worse, or will it probably remain the same?

    I can probably return the computer to the ebay seller for a refund, but I got a deal on it that might be hard to match.
