I dont know if this only pertains to iMacs but I just brought my MBP into the apple store for a dead pixel and they ordered a screen for me and said they'll call once it comes in so they can replace it free of charge. Perhaps the screens are a lot easier to replace on the MBP's. It was a hassle free experience, thank heavens.
