About the characteristics of LCD panels
The phenomena described below are due
to the characteristics of LCD panels and do
not indicate that LCD panels are defective.
The TFT color LCD of your computer,
composed of more than 2,350,000 picture
elements (number of dots when the
screen resolution is set to 1024 by 768
pixels) was manufactured through the use
of high technologies. For technical
reasons, your LCD panel may have pixels
that do not light up or pixels that always
stay on, which however does not indicate
that your LCD panel is in a defective
condition.
Colors reproduced by LCD panels vary
to some extent from product to product
for reasons of manufacturing processes.
Also, a slight unevenness of density may
show up as a result of changes in
temperature.
