Hardware New Nintendo 2DS XL with a dead pixel?

[MaxiBash]

I got a brand new Nintendo 2DS XL yesterday and after only 2 days of use, it already has a (possible) dead pixel.
I tried dry towels, I tried wet towels, I tried several one of those "dead pixel fixers", running for 2 hours, but nothing works.
Is this common, or is this something else than a dead pixel?

You might need to tilt your screen in order to see a dot with lower transparentcy. When you look with an eye, the dot is mostly black.​

LCDs can have dead pixels from the beginning and manufacturers tend to call this "normal". Often they refuse to repair/replace under warranty and say: "A number of X dead or stuck pixels have to be tolerated and are not considered a defect." Nintendo did so for the Switch.

These "repair programs" can help if the pixel is partially working or stopped working recently but shows sometimes a bit of reaction. However if a pixel is complete black an never shows anything, it's unlikely these apps would do anything.

To be honest I can't see much on your photo -- just a part that looks a little darker. On the picture it does not look like a dead pixel, but I know how hard it is to take pictures of a screen.

You could try to return the console under warranty. But if you already installed B9S this might even be harder or you would have uninstall cfw (which is not a good idea if you changed anything on the system apps). See here:

If you have modified critical system software (such as editing the home menu, unbanning your console, etc), uninstalling CFW may BRICK your device!

It's not softmodded so, bleh, I can return it.
I just find it kind of wrong that Nintendo refuses repairs. I also speculate something could be bewteen the plastic barrier and the screen, like a dust part.
Anyway, here's an image with a better view.
