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.
