  Depends on the LCD too.

  My PSP had two dead pixels (one was always off, the other was always white).
I had the PSP changed due to a button getting broken, and the new PSP has
one dead pixel (but it's only slightly "dead", as it looks a lot smaller
than the full dead pixels and fortunately doesn't bother so much; probably
has only one color channel dead).

  This is a known issue at least with the original PSP. You just have to
live with it.

  They are important because they change the image composition.

Yeah, it does seem to vary. I see LCDs with multiple dead pixels, and I 
see others with absolutely none. Like, each time I walk into our lab 
office, I see 12 monitors, all LCD, all with zero dead pixels. Yet the 
one at my desk has 4 dead pixels.

Even the eyes of horses and goats (and others) have horizontal pupils for 
this reason.

16x9 more closely matches what you actually see with your eyes, so it's 
more immersive overall.

By the way, is anyone else annoyed by the fact that as soon as most TVs 
sold became 16x9, people started making movies in 22:10?  WTF, people, 
make up your minds!

The screen on my mobile phone is less than an inch square. I'm fairly 
sure they don't make CRTs that small.
