Is a small number of dead/stuck pixels normal/acceptable on a 27" 4K monitor?

I recently got an LG 27U730A-B monitor for use with my PC, MacBook and PS5. It's a pretty cheap 4K display, costing under £200, and also has built in speakers. Overall I'm relatively impressed with it for the price, but I've noticed my unit has 7 defective pixels, 6 where it appears the green subpixel has failed, and two where the red one seems to have failed. Six out of the seven defective pixels are in one area of the screen, in approximately the lower centre-right (you can only see the ones where the green subpixel has failed, but both of the ones with a defective red subpixel are also in this area):

I know manufacturers usually consider a small number of defective pixels normal on less expensive consumer monitors, but I'd like the view of others here. The defective pixels are not very noticeable unless you are looking for them due to how tiny they are. A defective pixel would have been much more noticeable on my previous 21" 1080p monitor which had only about 60% the pixel density of this one. There's the possibility that LG are able to keep the price down on this model compared with ones that sell for double the price by using display panels that didn't quite meet the quality control for their more expensive 27" 4K models.

Can only find older policies from LG, but appears 7-12 is 'acceptable' at 2560x1600.

Depending how recently you bought it, you could be within your rights to return it under distance selling regulations (I forget what they're actually called now)

Correct. Under the "distance selling act*" you can return goods within 14 days (called the cooling off period) for any reason from the date of delivery.

*Now called the consumer protection regulations.

Edit: to clarify, you have to have bought this without being physically present for this to apply. If you have purchased the monitor in-person, the 14 day cooling off period doesn't apply under your statutory rights. Retailers may also have their own return/replacement policies that benefit you in addition to your statutory rights.
