Recently I've noticed a tiny black dot in the lower left part of the screen on my retina MBP 2015.
First I thought it's debris or dust, but I inspected whole screen during my purchase 2 weeks ago, and I didn't notice this. Also, if I change viewing angle from 90 to, lets say, 120 degrees this dead pixel becomes completely unnoticeable.
After taking close photo my suspicion was confirmed: not one, but three? dead pixels. Photo attached. My MBP is out of warranty ofc, so I think it is pointless to go to the apple store... Or not? Share your experience or opinion, please!
Photo attached.

Why do you think its pointless, if its within the warranty period, definitely go to the apple store.
I purchased it used and it was manufactured November 2015 so definitely out of warranty.
I can live with it, and when the reflecting coating starts to peel off (stain gate) I will go to the apple store to get my screen replaced anyway (I have at least 8 month left).
