About

screen:
The
screens are produced using extremely
high-precision manufacturing techniques,
with more than
99.99%
of
the
pixels
operating
to
specification. Less than
0.01 %
of
the
pixels may occasionally
misfire
or
appear as black, red, blue
or
green dots. This has no effect on
the
recorded image and
does
not
constitute a
malfunction.
