D LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy The TFT monitor uses high-p recision technology, manufactured accordin g to HP standa rds, to guarantee trouble-free performance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmet ic imperfections that appear a s small bright or dark spots. This is commo n to all LCD disp lays used in products su pplied by all vendors and is not specific to the HP LCD. These imperfections are ca used by one o r more de fective pixe ls or sub- pixels. ● A pixel consists of one red, on e green, and one blue sub-pixel. ● A defective whole pixel is alw ays turned on (a bright spot on a dark background) , or it is always off (a dark spot on a bright background). Th e first is the more visible of the two. ● A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective wh ole pixel and is sm all and only visible on a specific background. To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under norm al operating conditions, in normal operating mode at a supported resolu tion and refresh rate, from a dist ance of approxim ately 50 cm (20 in). HP expects that, over time, the indu stry will continue to improve its ability to produce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made. 40 Appendix D LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy ENWW
