If we're talking about a pressure mark right after unboxing, it shouldn't be a problem. If this was a month later I might agree. The OP can just ask to return it if necessary.
Got a tip for us?

Haha, yes I know. I'm waiting on my shipment now. Just return it and get cash back. Waiting sucks, but what would you rather do. Wait a week or two for a new one or be stuck with a defective one forever?
Just as reference, dead pixels are usually dead
ie they don't power up or stay one color even when you're trying to make it show a different color.
My local store has been receiving shipments of 4-5 every afternoon. So i'm sure if they don't have one tomorrow they'll have one for early next week.

yeah, makes sense
. Just saw an imperfection and figured it was probably some sort of pixel issue.

How is this one?
Perfect!! The display is just more sensitive than previous MBP displays and the box is poorly packaged. No foam under the rMBP box cover to protect it. I suspect this may be a reason why some rMBP are coming with pressure marks and dead pixels.
Thanks , I have a replacement on my build to order for the exact same problem as you. Just hoping my new one is perfect.
Ugh. Well I took it to the apple store and got a refund. Guess I will just have to wait 3-4 weeks for a new one.

When i say screen replacement they replaced the whole lid, which is exactly the same on a retina, except the retina screen and lid are now 1.
p.s my old issue was the webcam not working, but they replaced the whole lid because thats how apple work.
So. You make a thread about how you're angry over the fact that you think your machine has dead pixels and then post this:
in someone else's thread about having dead pixels?

Umm, at first I thought I had dead pixels, but instead it was a pressure mark. Clearly visible by the naked eye. That thread was concerning a guy who used a microscope to find 4 single dead pixels. Check his pictures and compare it to mine.
I'm sure if I had 4 dead pixels out of 5 million that were not visible unless i used a microscope...I probably wouldn't care.
Well, I guess that's my fault, because from the pictures he posted. They were all ridiculously close shots which further had to be zoomed in to see the dead pixel.
