    Most notebooks are not high resolution enough where you wouldn't see it. I have none on my notebook, but every LCD I have owned has had one. Never bothered me as I only see it them when the screen is black.

    Best thing is that...

    If you don't see one with your eyes, then you don't have one!

    Yeah don't worry if you can't see a dead pixel. Most likely you don't have one then. :p

    I have one on my laptop. It bugs me a little bit but it is on the far left side of the screen so I rarely see it. lol
