The beauty of an LCD's lack of refresh rate is quickly overshadowed the moment one of these appears...
Why are these suddenly an issue in recent displays? Older laptops never got them. If you recently bought an LCD monitor, did it automatically come with a dead/hot pixel or did it appear over time? Of course, you can't take them back unless you exceed some number of faulty pixels per square inch...
Strangely, I think the number I have are related to me
cleaning the thing with a cloth while it was powered up or tapping on it to point out something to someone. They're almost as frustrating as a hot pixel in a digital camera.
Oh, hell, don't get me started on those...
