I have a fleet of TPs, Toshiba's, and even a couple odd
(indestructable) Dell's.  None of which have lost a pixel during
their lifetime except to the occasional abuse.  I seem to recall
someone posting the OEMs for these displays round acout the time of
the Kobe earthquake.  So many of the TFT's are produced by so few
companies.  I believe IBM and Toshiba use some, if not all, the same 
suppliers.
