My advice would be to return it now while you still can... I once had the same
problem years ago but I needed the computer so much I kept it. That still bugs
me, even though now I've since gotten some others, and all of those have no bad
pixels. That is I still use the first one too.......

I'm sure other list members will tell you where to find neat test programs.
