N evertheless, your display may have c osmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the HP P3901 displays. These imperfections are caused by one or m ore defective pixels or sub-pixel s. A pixel consists of one red, one gree n and one blue sub-pixel. Defective sub-pixels are less visible than defective whole pixels. Defective sub-pixels are small and only visible on a specific background. Defective means either the pixel or sub- pixel is stuck always ON , a bright spot on a dark background, or it i s stuck a l ways OFF , a dark spot on a bright backgrou nd. The fi rst is the more visible o f the two. A dot defect is a stuck sub-pixel. Your HP P3901 will not have more than: ⢠10 total dot defects ⢠8 stuck full pixels ⢠8 s tuck red sub-pixels ⢠5 stuc k green sub-pixels (green is most v isible) ⢠8 s tuc k b lue sub -p ixel s ⢠No more than two adjacent pixels may be stuck Adjacent is defined as less than 15mm edge to edge ⢠No more than two pairs of two-adjacent stuck pixels per display To locate defective pixels, the u nit sh ould be viewed under normal operating conditions and i n normal operating mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in.). HP expects that over time, the industr y will continue to improve its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP will adjust our guidelines as improvements are mad e.

It is rec ommended that you u se a refresh rate of 60 Hz. The image refresh rate is the number of times per s econd that the image is redrawn. NOTE LCD technology does no t cause any flicker at low refresh rates. Mini mizing En ergy Consu mption If your computer supports VE SA monitor power management (available on many HP computers), yo u can minimize the power consumed by the monitor.

LCD Mon itor Qualit y and Pixel Policy LCD Mon itor Qualit y and Pixel Policy LCD Mon itor Qualit y and Pixel Policy LCD Mon itor Qualit y and Pixel Policy Your Hewlett-Packard TFT disp lay uses high precision te chnology, manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free personal computing. N evertheless, your display may have c osmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the HP P3901 displays. These imperfections are caused by one or m ore defective pixels or sub-pixel s. A pixel consists of one red, one gree n and one blue sub-pixel. Defective sub-pixels are less visible than defective whole pixels. Defective sub-pixels are small and only visible on a specific background. Defective means either the pixel or sub- pixel is stuck always ON , a bright spot on a dark background, or it i s stuck a l ways OFF , a dark spot on a bright backgrou nd. The fi rst is the more visible o f the two. A dot defect is a stuck sub-pixel. Your HP P3901 will not have more than: ⢠10 total dot defects ⢠8 stuck full pixels ⢠8 s tuck red sub-pixels ⢠5 stuc k green sub-pixels (green is most v isible) ⢠8 s tuc k b lue sub -p ixel s ⢠No more than two adjacent pixels may be stuck Adjacent is defined as less than 15mm edge to edge ⢠No more than two pairs of two-adjacent stuck pixels per display To locate defective pixels, the u nit sh ould be viewed under normal operating conditions and i n normal operating mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in.). HP expects that over time, the industr y will continue to improve its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP will adjust our guidelines as improvements are mad e.
