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 pix els or sub-pixels. â A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel. â A defecti ve whole pix el is always turned on (a bright spot on a dark background), or it is alw ays off (a dark spot on a bright background).
