Fluctuating brightness, though present to some degree in some sets, is being blown way too far out of proportion. I've had my new set for nearly a month, and I've only seen it once. If I had not been aware of the 'problem', I most likely never would have noticed it.
Dead pixels are something that happens on rare occasion, and it typically something you can return/exchange your set for. Think about it. There are over 2MM pixels in a 1080p panel. Statistically speaking, a <1 ppm failure rate is pretty darn good.
Why would you term it "risky" to buy from Amazon? As long as the retailer covers free return/replacement, there is no more risk than buying anywhere else. I made sure I could return my set free within 30 days before I purchased, because I wanted to evaluate the fBr issues for myself before deciding to keep the set.
