It totally depends on what the "customer" (ie the company buying the LCD 
from the LCD manufacturer) asks for.  A certain number of LCDs are always 
made with pixel defects, it's just the way it is, so obviously if you demand 
zero pixel defects, it is going to be more expensive because the "bad" ones 
have to be scrapped or sold for a very cheap price.

Quite often customers will ask for 2 quotes, one for zero defects, and one 
with up to 3 defects (but no 2 closer than a certain distance, it gets 
complicated!).
