Philips Pixel Defect Policy

Philips' Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect Policy

Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry's most advanced
manufacturing processes and practice stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub pixel defects on
the TFT LCD panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can
guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees that any monitor with
an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced under warranty. This notice explains
the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect levels for each type. In order to
qualify for repair or replacement under warranty, the number of pixel defects on a TFT LCD panel
must exceed these acceptable levels. For example, no more than 0.0004% of the sub pixels on a 19"
XGA monitor may be defective. Furthermore, Philips sets even higher quality standards for certain
types or combinations of pixel defects that are more noticeable than others. This policy is valid
worldwide.

Pixels and Sub pixels

A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the primary colors of red, green and
blue. Many pixels together form an image. When all sub pixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored sub
pixels together appear as a single white pixel. When all are dark, the three colored sub pixels together
appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and dark sub pixels appear as single pixels of
other colors.

Types of Pixel Defects

Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are two categories of pixel
defects and several types of sub pixel defects within each category.

file:///G|/LCD%20Monitor%20OEM/Philips/M2-project/215i2/215i2-EDFU/CD-Contents/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/215i2/product/pixel.htm 第 1 頁 / 共 4 [99-02-02 09:39]

Philips Pixel Defect Policy

Bright Dot Defects Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'. That is,

a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a dark pattern.
There are the types of bright dot defects:

One lit red, green or blue sub
pixel

Two adjacent lit sub pixels:

- Red + Blue = Purple

- Red + Green = Yellow

- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)

Three adjacent lit sub pixels
(one white pixel)

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:

One dark sub pixel Two or three adjacent dark sub pixels

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.

Philips Pixel Defect Policy

Pixel Defect Tolerances

LCD panel in a Philips flat panel monitor must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the
tolerances listed in the following tables.

Your Philips F1rst Choice Warranty

Your Philips F1rst Choice Warranty

Thank you for purchasing this Philips monitor.

All Philips monitors are designed and manufactured to high standards and deliver
high-quality performance, ease of use and ease of installation. Should you
encounter any difficulties while installing or using this product, please contact the
Philips helpdesk directly to benefit from your Philips F1rst Choice Warranty. This
three-year service warranty entitles you to a swap model on-site if your monitor
turns out to be faulty or defective. Philips aims at a swap within 48 hours of your
call being received.

What is covered?

The Philips F1rst Choice Warranty applies within Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark,
France, Germany, Greece, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and the United Kingdom and

warranty coverage.

The swap monitor remains yours and Philips keeps the defective/original monitor. For the swap
monitor the warranty period remains equal to that of your original monitor, being 36 months as from
the purchase date of your original monitor.

What is excluded?

The Philips F1rst Choice Warranty applies provided the product is handled properly for its intended
use, in accordance with its operating instructions and upon presentation of the original invoice or
cash receipt, indicating the date of purchase, dealer's name and model and production number of
the product.
