Dead pixel on G12 screen?

We went to a church play last night and it was rather dark in the room so I was using the low light setting on the camera. I noticed about half way through the play that it looked like I had a dead pixel on my LCD screen. It only showed up when the camera was in shooting mode. Wasn't there during playback mode or on the settings menus. I turned it on this morning to see if I could reproduce it and it appears to be back to normal. My question is this: Am I making too big a deal out of this or has anyone else noticed something like this too? Like I said, it appears to be back to normal at the moment but I just bought it a week ago and don't want a defective camera.

If you want to exchange the camera, you better take it back to the store versus sending it back to Canon because on page 3 of the .pdf manual they have a disclaimer that says in part that some bad pixels on the LCD are normal. Therefore, if the issue is with the LCD screen itself (make sure it is that versus the actual CCD) I don't think Canon service would consider your unit defective.

As long as it's on the LCD and not the sensor, try to learn to live with it - or ignore it. One dead/hot pixel in 461,000 is well within manufacturing tolerance

ADDENDUM - Depends on how anally perfectionist you want to be.

If it's on the LCD, does it affect picture quality? No.

It's akin to a speck of dust in the viewfinder of an DSLR - perhaps annoying, but not too significant in the great scheme of things.

For those who demand perfection in an LCD screen - were the manufacturers to instigate a zero-tolerance QA policy, the sheer amount of rejects would send the camera price sky-rocketing.

Now, that's something I WOULD **** about.
