Just bought my new Macbook pro. Beside that I really think I will love it, I alroundy found a bad pixel in the middle of the screen. What does the Apple Warranty about that?

Please tell me I don't have to live with that!

Take it back. They will observe it, and if they deem it to be a defect they will repair/replace it for you. You should be fine.

Sometimes it depends on where the pixel is in the field of view...

That website totally tripped me out.

Just got done watching it for five minutes, and I still see colors.

And it could probably kill someone with epilepsy. They ought to put a warning on that thing.
