    Dead pixel is a dealbreaker. Scuffs on the casing, sure. Not a dead pixel. Maybe on a large 4K TV I guess.

      Not to mention a dead pixel can be indicative of future failures. My brand new Pixel 7 Pro had a single dead pixel. I didn’t notice until I finished setting it up (or maybe it didn’t show up until then). Being lazy and not wanting to set it up again, I decided to ignore it. It was at the bottom, out of the way.

      A month or two later I woke up one day, checked notifications and took my horror that dead pixel had upgraded to an entire line at the bottom. Enough was enough, I missed my window for a store return but was able to get a RMA setup. Replacement is going strong, no dead pixel and none showing up.

      One or two dead pixels on a 4k display, probably not a problem. I likely won’t notice. Bright pixels though and it goes straight back. Those will annoy me the entire time I own the device.
