Question LED LCD vs OLED - Which is likely to get dead pixels?

Is Oled more prone to get dead pixels vs LED LCD tvs? I thought that LED LCD tvs don't get dead pixels, and if they do, I hear you can revive them unlike OLED which stay dead? If anyone has any insight about this topic and fill me in that would be great.

Ive never had a dead pixel before on a lcd... But i had a stuck pixel not so long ago on my LG oled, used the screen clean and it sorted it.

LEDs LCDs are identical to older CCFL LCDs in terms of the LCD matrix, the only thing that's changed is the backlight (from fluorescent to LED).

One positive benefit to 4K is that the pixels are much smaller, so individual dead pixels are much less noticeable, often invisible at normal TV viewing distances.

Yes, but does OLED have a much greater chance of getting dead pixels vs LED LCD? I hear that so many people who own OLED TV's have dead pixels. And I've owned lots of LCD screens and none have ever had any dead pixels before. You don't hear much about LCD getting dead pixels as often. Its more rare i guess.
