Which monitor to keep?

So I got in on one of the lcd deals, now the first monitor sent had a dead pixel that can be seen at all times (unless black) in the bottom lower right section. Not exactly disrupting, but I expected no dead pixels. After going back and forth, a new monitor is shipped, this one is worse! A cluster of dead pixels and definately viewable in normal tasks. Try to get them to offer a discount and keep my first one. However, they insist on shipping a 3rd monitor telling me over and over it will be better. I'm not exacty sure if it though, it has a dead pixel in the center of the screen. However, it's only noticeable when the surround colors should be blue (it shows up as a completely black pixel).

Cliffs:
Monitor one: Dead pixel lower right, noticeable on all color backgrounds except black
Monitor Two: Same as above, but a cluster of them!
Monitor Three: Dead pixel only noticeable on blue and in the dead center of the screen
 
take a stylus, and try massaging the dead pixel to see if it goes away.
Of course, it has to do with the "kind" of dead pixel you have. worked on my dell for one.
 
The pixels are definately bad, I'm just peeved that out of 3 monitors not a single one is working the way it's suppoes to. They are always giving me some BS about 6 pixels being industry standard, when I told them that the 2nd one had 6 or7 dead pixels, they somehow change the standard to being 10 pixels. If they give me some sorta discount to keep one of the monitors it would be all good since I paid under the impression I would be getting non defective monitor. I wonder what they do with these after I ship them back, can't be sold as new...
