I used Google and got a number of results you'll probably find very relevant. Google is a search engine that searches a much wider slice of the internet than the forum search does. You may consider using it in the future.

The answer to your question is in the first result of the Google search.

The truth is, it's often up to the whims of the genius bar staffer you talk to. Some will replace for one dead pixel (or light bleed alone) while some people have been told they need 3 dead pixels. Some people have been refused at one apple store but got a replacement at another.

Great help here. Like someone once said Google would have helped him too. Hands down the eltimate search engine and yes " Google is my friend" lol

I don't know if I would return the device just for one dead pixel. I guess it depends where on the display it's at. I definitely would not ask for a replacement just for light bleed, especially if everything else works fine. I find light bleed unnoticeable in ambient lightning.

If it bothers you, go ahead and take it in. I realized that my new iPad had a one dead pixel on it about 3 weeks after I purchased it. I took it to the apple store and they swapped it out on the spot.
