RMA it. Dead pixels can spread.

I too have a stuck pixel on my Dell IN2030M, it is still under warranty. What to do? Should i RMA it? Will they replace it or fix it?

this is very unfortunate.
try to get the unit replaced. Especially if the dead pixel is in the middle of the screen

You can try using a few software fixes. They do not work most of the time. But I was lucky to get a dead pixel fixed on my laptop screen.
Try JScreenFix or the youtube video below :-

It probably won't work though. Try to RMA it. Best of luck.

^ Try first. You won't know without trying. Try convincing them that you haven't been using this for long :\
