There are some with bad pixels. I've seen as many as I have with LCD desktop monitors. Which is really only 2-3 I've seen with dead pixels

I used to think that I had a dead pixel on my laptop; then I realized I only saw it when browsing FiringSquad.com :P. (Take a look at the little white dot at the very bottom of their pages, dead center in the blue border.)

There's a distinct difference between the laptop and desktop monitor markets, and therefore between the panels designed for each. Desktop monitor panels tend to be brighter having better contrast ratios and viewing angles then those high-resolution versions used in laptop displays. In many cases the manufactures intentionally keep viewing angles narrow on laptop monitors for privacy reasons.

Desktop LCD monitors have been designed intentionally for lower resolution (pixels per inch), in order to make them more competitive with the desktop standard CRT monitor. Also most people who what higher pixel densities want larger sized monitors not smaller. 1600 x 1200 on a 15” screen is often very difficult for most users due to the small size of text and Icons etc. If you look at the trend for LCD monitors the sizes and approximate dot pitches match (or are close) to those of the standard CRT.
