 This is how pretty much all warranties work, with a few rare exceptions. If a part fails on your car while it's under warranty, the manufacturer isn't going to replace your car with a brand new one. Dell couldn't possibly be expected to hand out new replacement units whenever there is an issue that can easily be fixed with a replacement part. New buyers are already waiting long periods for their machines to be made and shipped due to external factors that Dell and the other brands have no control over.  You won't have a refurbished laptop, you'll have your original laptop with a replacement screen. If you returned your laptop within the first 30 days and Dell had to make a repair then they would list it on their Outlet store as a refurbished unit.   Electronic products, especially gaming laptops, are highly complicated and things can go wrong. This is why there are warranties which protect the consumer.  It's never fun when there are issues with something you've spent good money on but unfortunately it happens from time to time. 
I have a couple of bright pixels on the laptop. It's not a huge inconvenience, but I do notice them almost every time I use the device. I am looking to replace the device itself after reading the horror stories of Dell repairs and part replacements. I did pay a pretty penny for this, and I do understand there is a 30 day return period, but being a student, I didn't have a choice except to keep the laptop until my semester was over. After contacting Dell, I don't find it fair on Dell's part to essentially offer a refurbished machine when I payed for a new, supposedly working machine. All I am asking for is a NEW replacement, not a free device. I simply don't have the time or energy to deal with having a repair done and then finding other issues (I read many "repairs" make things worse) and sending it in again. The laptop is still under warranty and I also got accidental coverage and have already contacted Dell. I understand there are policies, but I believe there is a reason that Dell has a 1.6 star rating on Google. I spoke to a few representatives who were very nice and willing to help, but couldn't do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
