Have you considered Eizo?  I haven't heard any complaints about their  
24" LCD displays.

Personally, I would love 2-3 Eizos along with a Cinetal, eCinema, or  
FrontNiche LCD.  Those last three brands are absolutely stunning in  
every way.  If only I could create business to justify the last ones.

I know you don't want anything from them, but Samsung has a superb  
policy.  I don't know what NEC's policy is, but Eizo also has a  
really good policy.  I'm sure there are other tops notch brands that  
are also perfect with their dead pixel policy.

Alternatively, some stores also have a vary nice policy.
