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.
I was having an Apple PowerBook 17" with a dead pixel appearing only one month after I bought it...
