Didn't find any dead pixels. The monitor is absolutely stunning. I connected it via the HDMI interface. The only drawback is Windows 7 tought that it could send the sound via the HDMI and since there is no audio out on the monitor, I have to set the audio out back to my sound card. After I bought this one, I saw an ad on Fry's Electronic selling the same brand new monitor on sale for $199.
