Whilst most panels are manufactured by very few people - for example, many panels are manufactured by Samsung, but then repackaged and rebranded before being sold as, say, a Dell panel - different brand-names attach different quality impositions. A very cheap brand may consider half a dozen stuck pixels normal. You on the other hand, may not :-( - It's worth spending the extra �50 to get a really nice panel that's a bit brighter with no stuck pixels than the dirt cheap ones.
