7.2 Pix el Policy
The EVGA monitor is evaluated on the number of acceptable non-performing pixels and the
distance between each non-performing pixels. The terms “non-performing” and “defective
pixels/sub-pixels” are used interchangeably for ease of identification. All monitors have been
tested to ensure they comply with this standard.
To identify non-performing pixels, the monitor shall be viewed under normal operating
conditions, preferably in its native resolution, and from a normal viewing distance of at least
50 cm (16 in.).
During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more pixels to
become fixed in an unchanging state. The visible result is a fixed pixel that appears as an
extremely tiny dark or bright discolored dot. When the pixel remains permanently lit, it is
known as a “bright dot.” When the pi xel remains black, it is known as a “dark dot.”
In almost every case, these fixed pixels are hard to see and do not detract from display
quality or usability. A display with 1 to 5 bright or dark dots is considered normal and within
industry standards.
