Note
A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50
percent brighter than neighboring dots while
a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than
neighboring dots.
Black Dot Defects
Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels
that are always dark or 'off'. That is, a dark dot is
a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when
the monitor displays a light pattern. These are the
types of black dot defects:
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS
1 lit subpixel
2 adjacent lit subpixels
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel)
Distance between two bright dot defects*
Total bright dot defects of all types
BLACK DOT DEFECTS
1 dark subpixel
2 adjacent dark subpixels
3 adjacent dark subpixels
Distance between two black dot defects*
Total black dot defects of all types
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS
Total bright or black dot defects of all types
Note
1. 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
2. This monitor is ISO 9241-307 compliant.( ISO9241-307 : Ergonomic requirement, analysis and
compliance test methods for electronic visual displays)
Proximity of Pixel Defects
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same
type that are near to one another may be more
noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for the
proximity of pixel defects.
Pixel Defect Tolerances
In order to qualify for repair or replacement due
to pixel defects during the warranty period, a TFT
LCD panel in a Philips flat panel monitor must
have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the
tolerances listed in the following tables.
