D L CD Monitor Q ualit y and P ix el P o licy The TFT monitor uses high-precision technology , manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free performance. Ne vertheless, the display may ha ve cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays us ed in products supplied b y all vendors and is not specif ic to the HP LCD. These imperfections are caused by one or more defecti ve pixe ls or sub-pixels. ■  A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel. ■  A defecti ve whole pixel is al ways turned on (a bright spot on a dark background), or it is alw ays off (a dark spot on a bright background). The f irst is the more visible of the two. ■  A defecti ve sub-pix e l (dot defect) is less visible than a defecti ve whole pix e l and is small and only visible on a specif ic background. The HP display does not ha ve more than: ■  3 bright dots. ■  5 dark dots. ■  5 total bright and dark dots. ■  No more than two adjacent (less than 25 mm edge-to-edge) defecti ve pixe ls.

L CD Monitor Quality and P ix el P olic y T o locate defectiv e pixels, the monitor should be vie wed under normal operating conditions, in normal operating mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in.).
