Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white 
pixel).

 Note

A red or blue bright dot must be 
more than 50 percent brighter than 
neighboring dots while a green 
bright dot is 30 percent brighter than 
neighboring dots.

Black Dot Defects 

Black dot defects appear as pixels or 
sub pixels that are always dark or 'off'. 
That is, a dark dot is a sub-pixel that 
stands out on the screen when the 
monitor displays a light pattern. These 
are the types of black dot defects.

Proximity of Pixel Defects 

Because pixel and sub pixels defects 
of the same type that are near to one 
another may be more noticeable, 
Philips also specifies tolerances for the 
proximity of pixel defects.

Pixel Defect Tolerances

In order to qualify for repair or 
replacement due to pixel defects during 
the warranty period, a TFT Monitor 
panel in a Philips flat panel monitor 
must have pixel or sub pixel defects 
exceeding the tolerances listed in the 
following tables.
