last year i ordered a SONY from local disty and they luckily check each TV before delivery. mine had a area of dead pixels. it was the last one but had more coming in from another warehouse next day. next day they get a new one ready to ship and plug in an more dead pixels. and then a 3rd AND a 4th. all in a row. never seen before. the 5th TV from another warehouse was good.
