Hewlett-Packard TFT Display Quality Statement
TFT display manufacturing is a high precision but imperfect technology and manufacturers cannot
currently produce large displays that are cosmetically perfect. Most, if not all, TFT displays will exhibit
some level of cosmetic imperfection. These cosmetic imperfections may be visible to the customer
under varying display conditions and can appear as bright, dim, or dark spots.
This issue is common
across all vendors supplying TFT displays in their products and is not specific to the HP OmniBook
display.
HP OmniBook TFT displays meet or exceed all TFT manufacturer’s standards for cosmetic quality of
TFT displays. HP does not warrant that the displays will be free of cosmetic imperfections.
TFT
displays may have a small number of cosmetic imperfections and still conform to the display
manufacturer’s cosmetic quality specifications.
Here are some guidelines to use in determining what action to take on customers’ complaints of
cosmetic imperfections in their TFT displays:
1. The unit should be viewed in the customer’s normal operating condition.
This means if the customer uses the unit predominately in DOS, in Windows, or in some other
application or combination of applications, that is where you should make the determination. Self
test is not a normal operating condition and is not a sufficient tool to interpret display quality.
2. Use the table below to determine whether the display should be considered for replacement. These
are the only conditions in this guideline that may call for a replacement due to a defect in material
or workmanship based on the HP Limited Warranty Statement.
3. If a display is considered for replacement, it should be clear to the customer that cosmetic variations
on the replacement display may also exist, and may require the customer to use a work-around to
obscure the cosmetic imperfection.
4. Customers with cosmetic-based complaints only, that do not conform to the above conditions and
tests will not normally be considered for display replacement. It will be left to the judgment of the
HP-responsible person working with the customer, to identify work-arounds that are reasonable and
appropriate for the individual customer. Customers who must have a more perfect display solution
should consider switching to an OmniBook with a DSTN display.
We expect over time that the industry will continue to improve in its ability to produce displays with
fewer inherent cosmetic imperfections, and we will adjust our HP guidelines as the improvements are
implemented.
