PIXEL DEFECT POLICYWe strive to deliver the highest quality products and use some of the industry's most advanced manufacturing processeswhilst practicing stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub-pixel defects on the PDP / TFT panels used in Plasma- &LCD- displays are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects,but Philips guarantees that any Plasma- & LCD- displays with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired duringthe warranty period in line with your local guarantee conditions.This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines the acceptable defect level for the BDL4230E LCDscreen. In order to qualify for repair under warranty, the number of pixel defects must exceed a certain level as shown inthe reference table. If the LCD screen is within specification a warranty exchange / claim back will be refused.Additionally, because some types or combinations of pixel defects are more noticeable than others, Philips sets evenhigher quality standards for those.7.1. PIXELS AND SUB-PIXELSA pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub-pixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue. Many pixelstogether form an image. When all sub-pixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored sub-pixels together appear as a singlewhite pixel. When all are dark, the three colored sub-pixels together appear as a single black pixel. Other combinationsof lit and dark sub-pixels appear as single pixels of other colors.7.2. TYPES OF PIXEL DEFECTS + DOT DEFINITIONPixel and sub-pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are three categories of pixel defects and severaltypes of sub-pixel defects within each category.Dot definition = What is a defective "Dot"?One or more defective, adjacent sub-pixel is defined as one "dot".
