I've got an Lenova ideapad Yoga 13 which is still under manufacturer warranty. I've noticed when working on either bright or white background you can clearly see 2 grey/black dots. One is bigger than the other. Does this mean I have 2 dead pixels? Lenova state 4 or more dead pixels is a warranty claim?
Determining how many dead pixels?

If one of the dots is more noticeable then i am pretty sure its more than 4 dead pixels, i recommend you take it to a lenovo store asap and let them fix it .
(i am pretty sure that if for example you had 1 big dot filling the screen, lenovo wouldn't count it as 1 pixel
)
PS. I think you ment Lenovo Thinkpad not Lenova Ideapad ?

The IdeaPad line is also a Lenovo product.

Okay, didn't know that, doesn't matter anyways, i'd still let them fix it instead of doing it yourself .
I would of thought if both dots are visable to the naked eye then surely it has more than 2 dead pixels as a computer screen has around 2 million pixels?
I have spoke with Lenova and they say it needs to be 4 or more before they would consider a repair or replacement and that in time more dead pixels will appear but warranty runs out in November?
I described 2 light grey dots visable on both white and coloured background?
What do people think......? 2 pixels or more?
Cheers

Assuming the resolution of your Lenovo is 1366x768 then your screen has 1,049,088 pixels - so yes it is maybe more than 2 pixels. How big exactly are the dots? Can you show us a picture?
If they won't replace it, you can usually find replacement screens easily on the internet and they are not very difficult to fit.
