I understand the same Fernando and it is pretty poor show; I should
say that monitors with bits missing are not fit for purpose. But my
son had the same story from the local shop when he found a couple of
dead ones on his monitor.
But on computers, I have seen only one dead pixel on 4 Apple 'books
and that was on a 5 year-old 5300 Powerbook. Neither of my iBooks
has a dead pixel, that I have noticed anyway.
