many small black and white dots on LCD

I bought macbook pro 2 months ago, the 2.33 ghz core 2 duo wid 2 gig ram and ATi Radeon X1600 xt gfx card. Recently i noticed small black and white dots cluttered in one place. The rest of the screen has about 7 - 8 independent dots, I feel as if they are increasing day by day. Is there any permanent solution to this. I contacted the apple support and I'm waiting on their decision.

Mabook Pro 17" 2.33 Ghz 2 gig Ram, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I don't know if this would be the same issue or not, but I had a few black and white dots on my iBook. I went to Disk Utility and repaired permissions and that seemed to take care of the problem.

Good luck!

Thanx, but I think this is more of an hardware problem. Since its on the screen, I tried to take a screenshot, but the dots were not on the image. I have searched many times, it seems many people have this same problem, I think its the dead pixels, but this too much.

The good news is that you are under warranty. I think Apple will replace the display if there are more than 6 dead pixels. It sounds like you have more than 6. If it is hardware, then the only option would be replacement.

Good luck!
