Has anyone had any problems with dead pixels on plasma tv's?

I was very wary of this when i was intereted in buying a plasma, but still decided to get one.
It has been heavily used and it is still PERFECT 19 months later

i would strongly recommend getting one, they are great!

on plasma dead pixels don't make that much of difference, unlike LCD. the best way to get rid of any dead or inactive/damaged pixels, is to run a primary colour DVD disc (available from your local independent Plasma Centre) which flashes RED/GREEN/BLUE colours for about 20 mins, this intensive workout normally fixes the majority or dead cells on plasma and LCD.

I assumed the name "dead pixels" indicates that the pixel doesn't work whatsoever?
