dark dots in the viewable area. These cosmetic imperfections are common to all display panel types, not
specifically HP products.
All display panel defects should be examined at the highest possible resolution using both the brightest
and darkest possible backgrounds, because some subpixel failures might not be readily visible under
certain conditions.
● Type 1: Bright dot on a dark background = Always On
● Type 2: Dark dot on a bright background = Always Off
● Combination = in any combination and any color that are always on or off
Use the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) tool to determine numbers of pixels and their distance. HP
uses the following set of criteria when damaged displays are submitted for warranty coverage.
