In the Netherlands, there have been several reports of dead pixels as well. The official statement was the same.

IMHO, it looks to me that the quality of the screens of the Ipaq's is less than it used to be, especially if you compare the screen and price with other products. Personally i have a Loox, two Jornada's and a philps Nino, and never had any dead pixels. Nor have i seen many reports from other manufacturers. Although you can expect a dead pixel every now and then in production, reports are becomming too frequent for me to suspect stastical variance.....

On the other hand, more iPaqs have traditionally been produced than other units. I've seen about 10 3xxx iPaqs and have never encountered a dead pixel. The 5450's seem to be having some more trouble, though, as they're manufactured by someone else and perhaps the kinks aren't worked out.

I've had 4 iPaq's and two of them have had dead pixels. My first 3635 had a dead pixel and my new 5450 does as well. :x

Also, I don't think there are necessarily more dead pixels on handhelds and cameras, but, rather they have smaller screens so you're more likely to noticed the dead pixel as there are fewer working ones to cover up for it.
