Only bought the bloody thing today and I've discovered a stuck blue pixel. Only had it a few hours! Really frustrating after I've just jail broke and configured everything.

Barely noticeable but still annoying!
 
It's actually more of a lazy pixel. Pops up when I lock and unlock but corrects it self very quickly. Not noticeable when using the device unlocked.
 
Definately take it back. I took my iPad2 back to an apple store where they swiftly replaced it for a brand new one due to a dead pixel.
 
I had this on an earlier 3GS, and when I mentioned it to the guy in the Apple store, he practically laughed at me! He said he wouldn't replace it, instead send it away to have a new screen! I ended up living with it, and it just eventually went away and I forgot about it!
 
It seems to be there when the device is cold. Soon stops being lazy once I've had it on for a while. Two minds whether to bother doing anything. Nearest apple shop is 40 miles :/
 
The longer you leave it the less chance you will have it replaced. As you say you have just bought it you still have a 2 week period to return it no questions asked (if you bought it from an apple store), which means they either replace it, or you return it, then get yourself another one.
 
Hmm. Its only lazy when i click to unlock. It flashes blue in a milisecond then its fine. I bought from the purple shirts.
 
Wondering if this is software related jb perhaps? I don't remember it showing up on the black activate itunes screen.
 
If you're not happy dude take it back, although to be fair, it's a bit of a gamble with most screens there is a slim possibility of stuck/dead pixels. Different manufacturers have different policy's regarding pixels.

Have 2 currently on my Samsung monitor as well, and one on my TV screen, forget about them after a while lol, but when it's a new thing you've brought it is a bit frustrating!
 
Not too arsed. It doesnt seem to be stuck permenantly but when the screen comes up when I press the home button it flashes blue quickly then seems to work fine. Unsure if its software or not.

Wondering if its software? Seems fine when I unlock
