I would imagine that since it's a brand new screen and an expensive product that they're probably checking them pretty well as they come off the assembly line, but dead/stuck pixels could of course still slip through.
Stuck pixels will be very obvious on a black back ground. My IBM T221 (3840x2400 @ 22.2 inch) is only slightly larger pixels (204 PPI vs 220 PPI) and I can see the 5 or 6 stuck pixels no problem on that. I don't really notice them under normal circumstances though.
