Just above the a.. the devices don't have dead pixels,but some of them do have a "hole" in the layer of the screen where the back light pops trough, but in case of that,it should have been more or less brighten when you move the slider,with the intensity of the light.
My previous Glo has 2 and when you noticed it,they seems in your mind to be bigger and bigger.
So it was a problem that I had to in the normal Glo, so the first thing I do is put it at maximum and watch if I can see one.
From the 5 Glo's I had, 2 of them have the "dead spots".
(No I am not rich, but I ordered two, one for me and one for my girlfriend but the website made a double shipment so sended four, two of them had the problem so that are the ones I sended back..Later I ordered a third one for travel,vacation,things like that.. )

I think it's a dead spot on the cam,or indeed,dust,but it does looks the same way as my 2 defective had..
If you see at 1.21 and further you notice that the spot is on his hand,and not on the device, so definitively something on the camera lens.
