    Hi Everyone! I'm looking for a little bit of help, I have owned a Lenovo x230 since late September and have really been loving it. I feel pretty stupid for taking so long to notice, but when I was typing an e-mail today I noticed what looks to be a dead pixel smack dab in the middle of my screen. I wasn't sure if this was something I would have to live with or if it's something that falls under Lenovo's standard warranty. I went to a dead pixel test website and saw what looks to be other small dead pixels around it, i'm not too good at differentiating what is a dead pixel and what isn't and was looking to get some advice from the good folks around here about whether or not I should bring this to Lenovo's attention try and perhaps apply for a screen replacement. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    P.S. Had trouble with image upload, sorry!

    Lenovo's policy is three or more dead/stuck pixels before they'll replace it.
