Sounds like a dead pixel. The number of dead ones you're required to have before the manufacturer will replace it varies with manufacturer, but since it's brand new PC World should just take it back. Get a replacement.

Consumer flat panel displays must conform to Class 2 requirements of ISO13406-2. This allows for 1 dead (or bright) sub-pixel per million sub-pixels.
