Smart TV pixel faults
Despite the state-of-the-art production methods, in rare
cases there may be individual or multiple pixel drop-outs
(dead pixels) due to the highly complex technology.
For active matrix TFTs with a resolution of
3840 x 2160
pixels
, which are each made up of four sub-pixels (red,
green, blue, white), there are a total of
approx. 33.2 mil-
lion
control elements in use. Occasionally pixels or indi-
vidual sub-pixels can fail or become incorrectly controlled
because of this very high number of transistors and the ex-
tremely complex manufacturing process used in this con-
text.

The permitted number of defects for every type named above in each class of pixel defect refers to
one million pixels and must be converted accordingly to match the physical resolution of the dis-
play.
Your device complies with the European ISO 9241-307 Class II standard (pixel defect class). Pixel de-
fects up to the specified maximum number are not covered by the warranty.
