Just take it back if it has dead pixels.
That seems to be a good TV but I don't see any sort of "picture engine" in it which is typically what makes standard def stuff to look decent on an LCD. I bought a $700 Dynex 42" 1080p LCD from Best Buy and took it back 3 weeks later because TV looked like hammered shit on it. It had no image engine on it. The LN40A550 has DNIe (Dynamic Natural Image engine) and that basically stands for "making TV look good on an LCD."
