If they will not replace it, not sure about how many pixels can be faulty, then you could always return it under the distance selling regulations for a refund but minus the postage for them sending it to you and also for you returning it to them.

Badass has a bit on his website about this subject, see here . There is also a tool called Dead Pixel Buddy you can use to try to get them unstuck. I think it works to change between the colours rapidly in the hope of coaxing them back to life. Badass also has a link to this in his FAQ thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17209584 in the bit "Q. What's the situation with Dead Pixels and can I bring them back to life?"

I hope this helps you.

You have 7 dead pixels? I am sure you wont have a problem RMA'ing it.

7 dead pixels that to many for a new monitor, you will need to act quickley if returning under the distance selling regulations for a refund or try for a new one.

We are talking about a new monitor?

With 7 dead there's no question about it. RMA it for a replacement ASAP.
What make and model was that by the way?
