LCD Pixel Policy
The LCD screen on your ARCHOS™ Gmini™ 402 unit has been manufactured to
rigorous standards to provide a high quality viewing experience. Nevertheless,
your LCD screen may have slight imperfections. This is not particular to the
ARCHOS™ screen, but to all devices which have LCD screens regardless of the
original manufacturer of the LCD. Each product vendor guarantees that his screen
will contain no more than a certain number of defective pixels. Each screen pixel
contains three dot elements (Red, Blue, and Green). One or all of the dots in a given
pixel may be stuck on or stuck off. A single dot stuck off is the least noticeable. All
three dots of a pixel stuck on is the most noticeable. ARCHOS™ guarantees that its
Gmini™ 402 screen will have no more than 1 defective pixel (regardless if that pixel
has one or more defective dots). This means that during the period of guarantee for
your country or jurisdiction, if the screen on your product has two or more defective
pixels, ARCHOS™ will repair or replace your Gmini™ 402 product at its cost. Thus, one
defective pixel is not grounds for replacement or repair of the product.
