it was bought from the orange shop brand new on payg. I think with tft
monitors it has to have 4 or 5 dead pixels before it is classed as
faulty.

Yes, but there are far more pixels on a 15 inch monitor than a Nokia 6600.

Some manufacturers have different tolerances for different sizes. I would
say it depends where the pixel is.

Switzerland - Zurich, Nokia service - one pixel dead - replaced with new
6600. (But I had to wait 3 weeks).
