Specifically for Liquid Crystal Display (“LCD”) screens:

Packard Bell strives to provide the highest quality LCD display products in the industry. Your Product meets the Class 2 specifications under the ISO 13406-2 industry guidelines for LCD monitors.

LCD monitors use a technology based on pixels. A pixel is a combination of three sub-pixels (red, green and blue) that produce a specific colour. There are millions of these sub-pixels on each LCD screen. Pixel faults on LCD screens can be comprised of whole pixels or sub-pixels either going dark, staying permanently lit or flashing.

The ISO 13406-2 standard allows for a certain number of pixel faults based on the number of total pixels in the monitor (deter- mined by the screen size). Packard Bell will replace an LCD monitor during the Warranty Period if it meets the following criteria:

Size	Number of pixels		Type 1	Type 2	Type 3	Faulty Cluster 1	Faulty Cluster 2
			Bright	Dark	Subpixel	Cluster of	Cluster of
						errors type 1 or	errors type 3
						2 in 5X5 pixels	in 5X5 pixels
15"	1 024 x 768	786 432	2	2	4	1	2
17"	1 280 x 1 024	1 310 720	3	3	7	1	3
19"	1 280 x 1 024	1 310 720	3	3	7	1	3

Type 1: A full pixel is always visible on the screen, resulting in a white point.

Type 2: A full pixel does never illuminate at all, resulting in a dark point.

Type 3: One or two sub-pixels are always switched on or switched off, resulting in a pixel of one of the basic colours (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow). Or a continuously blinking pixel occurs.

Faulty Cluster 1: Within a field of 5x5 pixels there are several malfunctions of Type 1 or Type 2.

Faulty Cluster 2: Within a field of 5x5 pixels there are several malfunctions of Type 3. Whenever this is reasonable and at the sole discretion of Packard Bell or when this is mandatory by national consumer legislation of the Country, Packard Bell may limit or extend the Warranty Period on the Product.
