About the LCD Monitor

The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision 
manufacturing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels 
operate to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may 
occasionally misfire or appear as red or black dots. This has no 
effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a 
malfunction.
