LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy
The 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 products supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the HP LCD.
These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels.
1. A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel.
2. A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a bright spot on a dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot
on a bright background). The first is the more visible of the two.3. A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less
2. visible than a defective whole pixeland is small and only visible on a specific background.The HP display does
not have more than:
4. bright dots.
5. dark dots.
6. total bright and dark dots.
7. No more than two adjacent (less than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge) 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 produce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imperfections And HP will adjust guidelines as
improvements are made.
