Philips 247E3L warranty Black Dot Defects, Proximity of Pixel Defects, Dark subpixel

8. Customer care and warranty

Note

A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50 percent brighter than neighboring dots while a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than neighboring dots.

Black Dot Defects

Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always dark or 'off'.That is, a dark dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a light pattern.These are the types of black dot defects.

Proximity of Pixel Defects

Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same type that are near to one another may be more noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects.

Pixel Defect Tolerances

In order to qualify for repair or replacement due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a TFT Monitor panel in a Philips flat panel monitor must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following tables.

BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS	ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 lit subpixel	3
2 adjacent lit subpixels	1
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel)	0
Distance between two bright dot defects*	>15mm
Total bright dot defects of all types	3
BLACK DOT DEFECTS	ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 dark subpixel	5 or fewer
2 adjacent dark subpixels	2 or fewer
3 adjacent dark subpixels	0
Distance between two black dot defects*	>15mm
Total black dot defects of all types	5 or fewer
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS	ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
Total bright or black dot defects of all types	5 or fewer

Note

1.1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect

2.This monitor is ISO9241-307 compliant (ISO9241-307: Ergonomic requirement,analysis and compliance test methods for electronic visual displays)
