stuck-pixel

I just ordered a new Dell 2209WA. Reviews seem to indicate it doesn't have any known quality control problems, but I read in general about LCD's and how people check for dead pixels, even unsticking them, and use burn-in programs.

So any recommendations or links on what I should do when I first receive the LCD?
