Although I agree with your statement about dead pixels, I would assume that it would be the equivalent of a dead backlight in this case. The manufacturers have to realize that a single dead LED would be a significant problem and be covered under warranty, much lick a current backlight would be. However, regarding the lifespan of an LED, you're misrepresenting the data. If I used my computer for 24 hours a day then, yes, an LED lifespan of only 4 years would be terrible. Thankfully, since most people don't even use their computers for more than 6 hours a day, they can expect 16 or more years from their LEDs.

Sorry Realist, I got your reply in my email and didn't see the other post you were referencing regarding the LED lifespan. You were right in correcting Mobi Fin, I thought it was directed at me.
