The monitor 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. Gateway's inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels
are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact Gateway Technical Support
to identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels
affected.
