Yeah, that is the way it goes... dead pixels in LCDs are pretty common, but most aren't even noticeable to the untrained eye. I have ONE dead pixel that shows up in white on blue I think it is... or something like that. Sometimes they're funky colors, sometimes they're just black and DEAD. Either way, they're pretty much unavoidable... if you get an LCD with no dead pixels, I'd say you're fairly lucky. If you get one with more than two dead pixels, I'd say your unlucky. One or two dead ones is not uncommon though.
