The display has pixels that are always dark or too bright
• This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT
technology used in active-matrix LCD screens.

minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably
numerous or dense on your display, contact Gateway
Customer Care to identify whether a repair or
replacement is justified based on the number of pixels
affected.
