i think a lot of ppl here are just spoiled!
i can send you a photo of my screen, its 8 years old but has about few hundreds of dead pixels etc. and i dont complain.
in no way im voting for broken/defective products im just saying you can live with 2 dead pixels.
yeah one or two isnt the end of the world, but i suppose it effects people differently, wouldnt bother me

yeah looks like two have issues alright, if you can get over it, after a little while (week or two) your vision will get used to it and you wont notice it at all, but its up to you if you want a new one :)

im also sure some places wont exchange with just 2 dead pixels, some are 3 and up, some are 7, youll have to find out what your supplier terms are :)

yeah, it still appear and it is dust behind the screen not Stuck or dead pixel. Really sad

I got a HP monitor and used it for 8 years, no dead pixel, no dust.... and it was solid.

I will stay away LG stuff, my LG TV always died the AC within 1 years

It might not really be a dead pixel. There is a piece of dirt between the panel and the backlight module. I had a similar problem like yours.
Refer to this thread: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/dead-pixel-yes-or-not-please-help.182379/

You can also try my technique. Stare at the spot and keeping your eyes focused, move from left to right. Does the spot move? If yes, it is dirt between the panel and backlight module. If no, it is/are dead pixel(s).

If it were dirt, it wouldn't vary by color.

But the pictures which I captured by phone, it is not accuracy :D. When I saw on other aspect it is not a pixel, it was lying behind the screen.

The Store was very good, they supported me to replace another.
