Depends on the size .. if it's a new display and you have some dead pixels, call AppleCare as they should know the exact limit of allowance for pixel anomalies.

I think the threshold is somewhere around 5 or 6 dead pixels.

DeltaMac will become famous soon enough
from an apple display service manual:
"A certain number of subpixel anomalies is considered acceptable, and these factors apply to all manufacturers using LCD technology—not just Apple products."
If you have a question about that, contact AppleCare for a good answer. An Apple service center should use a jeweler's loupe to accurately determine how many defects there actually are. Also makes a difference if the defect is bright or dark. Usually, a higher number of dark defects are allowed.
It's a good display until you complain about it...
