I got the Sony SDM-X82 from newegg.com. No dead pixels and I use it for gaming extensively. I got it for $805, it's now $780, slightly more if you want the black colored bezel. I use DVI and the secondary HD-15 input for another computer. I haven't used the speakers that are integrated into it. I am very pleased with it so far.
