In the Mid-90s, LCD QC was higher (which is one reason they cost so
much more). As manufacturers let more and more "bad" pixels slip
through - costs decreased significantly. IIRC, it is 13 total before
they will exchange it. If this number is incorrect, the true number is
higher. Unless Apple suddenly changed their LCD numbers recently, I am
correct.
