metal beams or shelves.

The display has pixels that are always dark or too bright
■
This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in
active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to
a minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense
on your display, contact Gateway Technical Support to identify whether
a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
