scaling in LCDs has almost always been shit. 1:1 pixel mapping always worked fine (except on broken monitors that can't do it), you're just using less of your screen. you can always do GPU or software scaling though
>Is it comparable to how crisp CRTs look when downscaled?
no

dead pixels can't be easily fixed
stuck pixels can be fixed with various shit like you said depending on the type of screen. i don't think any of these problems have been common since around 2007 though
