Working with t he notebook
Permanently unlit or lit pixels
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. T he maximum permitted number
of pixels faults is stipulated in the strict international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).
Example:
A 15" LCD screen monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 800 has 1280 x 800 = 1,024,000 pixels. Each
pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 3 million subpixels in
total. According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 4 pixels and 5 s ubpixels may be defective,
i.e. a total of 17 defective subpixels. T hat is approx. 0,0005 % of the entire subpixel!
Background lighting
TFT monitors are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the background
lighting can decrease during the period of use of the notebook. However, you c an
set the brightness of your monitor individually.
