The silver lining is that I can use whichever carrier I want and I will be refunded the cost of shipment no probs. No complications with import charges, either, and they're not waiting with shipping the replacement until they get the defective item back.

Are you sure it's not only a speck of dust on the dial?
Now seriously: not cool.

Well, I haven't been following the trends, but some time ago a single dead pixel wouldn't be recognised as a reason for warranty claim by most manufacturers, so in that sense I'm lucky. When I started talking to the support I said I wanted a replacement, and I didn't want to confuse myself and them later on by changing requests, so I followed it through, but I wouldn't have a problem with accepting 50% refund and keeping the laptop -- I'd save myself a lot of hassle and at that price I wouldn't mind just knowing the pixel is there, as functionally it's rather insignificant. But oh well.

There wasn't any talk of that 50%, it was my thoughts only. I went straight for the replacement, and they agreed with no objections.
