It's not a con as such. From what i understand, the manufacturing process isn't 100% and imperfections do happen. They happen with other components, but they happen on a per-component basis. A lot of buyers (especially businesses) don't have a problem with a few dead pixels here and there, so the panels don't get binned. If they binned every panel that had dodgy pixels, the prices would skyrocket.

Certain models/brands have different dead pixel polices. The retailer will probably accept it back though, right enough.
