Just had a 32inch standard (not LCD/Plasma) Toshiba widescreen delivered
this weekend. All seemed fine, but I switched it on this morning, and after
watching it for a bit, I noticed 3 dead pixels.

How common is this? Are there likely to be more die? To be honest, they're
not really that noticeable, but when I think about it, I look straight at
the area where one is, and will notice them! Especially on white back
grounds.

So is a TV worth taking back over 3 dead pixels? If it was small enough to
take back to the shop, then I'd think yes, but it's getting the day off
work, to wait for the delivery of another one!

What are peoples thoughts on this? Or am I being very fussy!?

Never heard of dead pixels in a CRT. You sure you don't mean LCD? Or a
differnt symptom?
If the store won't take it back for a few bad pixels, will they take it
back if it's dead? If so, it may be time to commit electronic homicide
to get your set replaced
