What's about dead pixel ?

Does any producer offer a 0 dead pixel waranty and for how long ?

One dead pixel and for me a TFT is not worth anything...

There's a UK dealer (Aria IIRC) offering a dead pixel check for an extra £15. If it's working when they sell it, then it should stay working AFAIK; I don't think LCDs deteriorate pixel by pixel. Everything should be at least as reliable as a CRT except for the backlight.

Both of mine have one dead pixel each near the edges, and it isn't a problem for me. They still look just as good as when they were new.
