According to the Department of Energy, high-power white LEDs have an estimated useful life somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 hours or approximately 4 to 6 years (not 80+ years). From a more realistic point of view, drive around town and observe the frequency of dead pixels in LED traffic signals. Since these are typically based on tried-and-true red/green LEDs, you will see that there is reason to be concerned about the details of a companies "dead pixel" policy -- even if the problem is in the manufacturing of the LED panel. Most policies allow for both a total number of allowable dead pixels with an maximum number of adjacent pixels. I would suspect that a single dead LED will be much more obvious than a single dead LCD pixel. It's definitely worth knowing the details of any specific policy before making a purchase.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
