What's special about that? It is the problem of every single LED displays, there are more than one LED in LED display. And LEDs outlive the device by a large margin for most of the time, so who cares anyways? Can't  find what your complain is based on.

Are you serious? The side-lit models age uniformly, at least visibly.
