What happens to all the TFT's that are RMA'd due to dead pixels etc

AS the title says, can the dead pixels be repaired? or are they sold as refurbs and is there a description I would have to look out for if I was buying one?

Seen the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark?

A lot go back into circulation as refurbs (even as new), or get sold to businesses I'd imagine.

If they get RMA'd because they are over the manufacturers limit of dead pixels then they should only be re-sold as such, i.e. seconds.

If on the other hand they are returned because of the distance selling act, i.e. the number of dead pixels is below the manufacturers limit but not acceptable to the user then I suppose there is no reason why the vendor cannot re-sell it as new as long as the packaging etc. doesn't prompt the next buyer to suspect anything.

Yes, I was wondering if things like that went on. Ta for the replies.
