hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy for f50 Monitor 36 English LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy for f50 Monitor f50 15-inch monitor The HP f50 TFT monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free performance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in pro ducts supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the HP D5063 LCD. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels. ⢠A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel. ⢠A defective whole pixel is always on (a br ight spot on a dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot on a bright background). The first is the more vis ible of the tw o. ⢠A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel and is small and only visible on a specific background. The HP D5063 display doe s not have more than: ⢠10 t otal dot defe cts. ⢠10 defective full pixels. ⢠10 defective red sub-pixels. ⢠4 defective gree n sub-pixels (green is most visible). ⢠10 defective blue sub-pixels. ⢠No more than two adjacent (less than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge) and defective pixels. ⢠No more than two pairs of two adjacent defective pixels. To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions, in 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 industry will continue to improve its ability to produ ce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imp erfections and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.

hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 46 English TCO '99 (European Union Only) Congratulations! You have just purc hased a TCO '99 approv ed and labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and to t he further development of environmentally adapted electronics product s. This product meets the requirements for the TCO '99 scheme which provides for an international environmental and quality labeling of personal compute rs. The labeling scheme was dev eloped as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confe deration of Prof essional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration), and SEMKO AB . The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environmental, ergonomic, usability, reduction of electric and magn etic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety. Why do we have environmentally labeled computers? In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electron ics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally har mful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, m ost of these potentially da maging substances sooner or later enter nature. There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Sin ce all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (for exam ple, acidic and clima te-influencing emissi ons, radioactive wa ste), it is v ital to sa ve energy. Electronics equip ment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.
47 hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information What does the environmental labeling involve? The environmental demands have been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation). These demands im pose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling, and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in ea ch country where the company i mplements i ts operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or monitor, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user. Below, you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements me t by this product. The complete envir onmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE-114 94 St ockholm, Sweden Fax: 46 8 782 92 07 Email (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO '99 approved and labeled products may also be obtained over the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/
hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 48 English Environmental requirements Flame retardants: Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay, the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consis t of flame retardan t substances. Mos t flame retardants contain bromine or c hloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of givin g rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio -accumulative* 1 processes. Flame retardants have been found in huma n blood and researchers fea r that disturbances in foetus development may occur. The relevant TCO '99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printe d circuit boards since n o substitute s are available. Cadmium:* 2 * Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour- generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and i s toxic in hig h doses. The relevant TCO '99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the elect rical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. Mercury:* 2 * Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous sy stem and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO '99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that m ercury is no t present in any of the electrical or electronics comp onents associated with the labeled unit. There is however one exception. Me rcury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.
49 hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information CFCs (freons): The relevant TCO '99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washi ng printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence. Lead:* 2 * Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevan t TCO '99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet be en developed. *1 Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms. *2* Lead, Cadmium and Mercur y are heavy m etals which a re Bio-accumulative .

hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy for f50 Monitor 36 English LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy for f50 Monitor f50 15-inch monitor The HP f50 TFT monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free performance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in pro ducts supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the HP D5063 LCD. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels. ⢠A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel. ⢠A defective whole pixel is always on (a br ight spot on a dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot on a bright background). The first is the more vis ible of the tw o. ⢠A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel and is small and only visible on a specific background. The HP D5063 display doe s not have more than: ⢠10 t otal dot defe cts. ⢠10 defective full pixels. ⢠10 defective red sub-pixels. ⢠4 defective gree n sub-pixels (green is most visible). ⢠10 defective blue sub-pixels. ⢠No more than two adjacent (less than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge) and defective pixels. ⢠No more than two pairs of two adjacent defective pixels. To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions, in 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 industry will continue to improve its ability to produ ce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imp erfections and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.

The HP D5064 display doe s not have more than: ⢠15 t otal dot defe cts. ⢠10 defective full pixels. ⢠10 defective red sub-pixels. ⢠4 defe ctive green sub-pixels (green is most visible). ⢠10 defective blue sub-pixels. ⢠No more than two adjacent (less than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge) and defective pixels. ⢠No more than two pairs of two adjacent defective pixels. To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions and in normal operating mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in.). HP expects that, over tim e, the industry will continue to impr ove its ability to produce displays with fewer cosm etic imperfections and HP will adjust guidelines as impro vements are made.

hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 46 English TCO '99 (European Union Only) Congratulations! You have just purc hased a TCO '99 approv ed and labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and to t he further development of environmentally adapted electronics product s. This product meets the requirements for the TCO '99 scheme which provides for an international environmental and quality labeling of personal compute rs. The labeling scheme was dev eloped as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confe deration of Prof essional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration), and SEMKO AB . The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environmental, ergonomic, usability, reduction of electric and magn etic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety. Why do we have environmentally labeled computers? In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electron ics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally har mful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, m ost of these potentially da maging substances sooner or later enter nature. There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Sin ce all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (for exam ple, acidic and clima te-influencing emissi ons, radioactive wa ste), it is v ital to sa ve energy. Electronics equip ment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.
47 hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information What does the environmental labeling involve? The environmental demands have been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation). These demands im pose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling, and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in ea ch country where the company i mplements i ts operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or monitor, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user. Below, you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements me t by this product. The complete envir onmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE-114 94 St ockholm, Sweden Fax: 46 8 782 92 07 Email (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO '99 approved and labeled products may also be obtained over the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/
hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 48 English Environmental requirements Flame retardants: Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay, the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consis t of flame retardan t substances. Mos t flame retardants contain bromine or c hloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of givin g rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio -accumulative* 1 processes. Flame retardants have been found in huma n blood and researchers fea r that disturbances in foetus development may occur. The relevant TCO '99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printe d circuit boards since n o substitute s are available. Cadmium:* 2 * Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour- generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and i s toxic in hig h doses. The relevant TCO '99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the elect rical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. Mercury:* 2 * Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous sy stem and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO '99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that m ercury is no t present in any of the electrical or electronics comp onents associated with the labeled unit. There is however one exception. Me rcury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.
49 hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information CFCs (freons): The relevant TCO '99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washi ng printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence. Lead:* 2 * Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevan t TCO '99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet be en developed. *1 Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms. *2* Lead, Cadmium and Mercur y are heavy m etals which a re Bio-accumulative .
