The fear I always heard that many people have about DLP is that those tiny moving mirrors will "seize up" and you'll end up with dead/bright pixels. Does this warranty cover that problem? Is that problem even real?

If this problem exists, and this warranty covers it, I hope they do it better than the "dead pixel" policies a few years ago for LCD: many manufacturers required at least 8 dead pixels (on even a new monitor) before allowing a return.
