OK guys, I don't own any LCD, but the message board at Futureshop.ca has been filled with several accounts of buying new LCDs and getting many dead pixels. To me, even one would be to many. Is this a common expected problem, and do you guys put up with it? No offense to you LCD guys, but I'd literally freak right out.

You can always try to "massage" the dead (stuck) pixel until it lights up again. Some people claim that they've used that method numerous times to resolve this particular problem. I can thankfully say that I've never had one occurrence of a dead pixel, yet.

Every pixel counts . . . even "spacer.gif".

This is what the guy said in response to my shock of a post:
So with LCD, pixel burnout is to be expected? HOW THE F**K could consumers put up with that? Are these people kidding? Sure on a 1080p display a single pixel may not be a big deal... you could pretend it's another star in a space movie... but still. OMFG! Spend a few thousand for that?
BTW, there have been many threads there about consumers complaining about LCD dead pixels... but this is the latest one I'm quoting here:

So wether the rumour that future shop is buying bulk defective items (which you are the only one Ive heard say such a thing) is true or not is irelevant, because pixel burn out, as spelled out in all manuals, sharp and otherwise, is not considered a defect.

being i deal with pixels everyday where i work, on a decent sized LCD, the likelyhood the average consumer would notice a dead pixel would be in the remote. I agree with Hawk that an expensive product (LCD TV) should respectively display evey pixel. However, considering the issue, I can assure most consumers will never notice.

FYI...
> DEFECTIVE OR STUCK PIXELS
From my own knowledge in reading about them over the last few years, from about 8 feet or more away from the display it's quite difficult to even spot a defective-type [dead] pixel, although a 'hot' or 'stuck' pixel may be a different story (can be noticeable in darker scenes etc).
