Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 153,000 dots. The result is more than 99.99% effective dots with a mere 0.01% of the dots inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.
