There was a time when dead pixels were supposed to be zero and I gather they breed so I guess once you have them they continue until the monitor is unusable Why I have not got one as yet There is less glare on them which may account for the lack of headaches, but has been said the refresh rate of of 85 to 100Hz is by far the best way to overcome that problem CRT monitors whilst bulky are far better in this regard, and also offer a finer dot pitch resolution most LDC/Flat panel ones are only 0.29 ..Whoops slipping into techno babble lol!! The space saving and ergonomics do make them attractive but I like em big and sharp .. Good point about getting an idea before purchase
