I saw someplce on newegg in a comment. But I just can't find it again. Guy came on and talked aboout how to get "dead" pixels to work on new screens, went something like this. Flash you screen a bunch between very dark and very bright (white) that excites those little buggers. Here's the part I'm not sure of. Then you can see the bad ones. He took a cue tip object (cotton on a stick) and very gently rubed the bad pixel and found it brought them back. I'm not sure I have got this right and as these new fangled screens are senstive to what you use on them, I'm a little nervous. Anyone done this?

My Motorola V3i mobile phone sometimes has a stuck pixel on it's LCD (generally in the same place), I find gently pressing on it very gently gets it unstuck, whether this works on all LCDs or just the small ones used in camera phones I don't know
