are dead pixels common on laptops?

[5489]

i know they're pretty common on LCD's, but are laptops less likely to have dead pixels? do the manufacturers check laptops to make sure they dont have any?

.... same as LCDs.

I've owned 3 LCD screens so far, and I have yet to see a dead pixel. Not saying I don't have any, but I have never noticed them.

I have had 3 laptops, 2 of them have had dead pixels. None on current one yet.
I've seen dead pixles on everything, digicams, lcd's, laptops. It really doesnt matter.

My laptop has a red one that only shows when background is black. Doesn't bother me at all.
