User Interface - HP OmniBook 5000 Familiarization Manual

TFT displays may have a small number of cosmetic imperfections and still conform
to the display manufacturers cosmetic quality specifications.
Here are some guidelines to use in determining what action to take on a customer
complaint of cosmetic imperfection in their TFT display:
1. The unit should be viewed in the customer's normal operating condition.
This means if the customer uses the unit predominately in DOS, or Windows, or in
some other application or combination of applications, that is where the
determination shall be made. Self test is not a normal operating condition and is not
a sufficient tool to interpret display quality.
2. In the customer's normal operating mode:
a. If 4 or more variant pixels appear clustered in the area approximated by a
thumbprint on the display surface, then the display should be considered for
replacement.
b. On OmniBook 4000CT models, if more than 30 total pixels anywhere on the
display are bad, then the display should be considered for replacement. On
OmniBook 600CT and OmniBook 5000CT models, if more than 15 total pixels
anywhere on the display are bad, then the display should be considered for
replacement.
These are the only conditions in this guideline that may call for a replacement due to
a defect in material or workmanship based on the HP Limited Warranty Statement.
3. If a display is considered for replacement, it should be clear to the customer that
cosmetic variations on the replacement display may also exist, and may require the
customer to use a work-around to obscure the cosmetic imperfection.
4. Customers with cosmetic-based complaints only, that do not conform to the
above conditions and tests will not normally be considered for display replacement.
It will be left to the judgment of the HP-responsible person who, in working with the
customer, to identify work-arounds that are reasonable and appropriate for the
individual customer. Customers who must have a more perfect display solution
should consider switching to an OmniBook with a DSTN display.
We expect over time that the industry will continue to improve in their ability to
produce displays with fewer inherent cosmetic imperfections and will adjust our HP
guidelines as the improvements are implemented.
