It is similar here. I believe I have read that Apple's number is 5 dead
pixels on a display before they will consider replacing it. Not sure
what they would do on a Powerbook. I don't get a new display that
often. Only on my third LCD with my Powerbook. I have never seen a dead
pixel, but I have not cared enough to load one of those programs that
finds them. I think you just have to be philosophical about these
things.
