Important Information
Pixel functionality:
Your LCD contains more than one million individual pixels. Sometimes, a number of these pixels do not function normally. Your LCD has been inspected and found to comply with the manufacturer's Defective Dot Policy. A pixel (picture element) consists of sub-pixels: one red, one green, and one blue dot. A transistor drives each dot. When a transistor becomes defective, the corresponding dot may become permanently bright or dark.
A Bright dot is a white or sub-pixel that is always on under BLACK pattern. A Dark dot is a black or sub-pixel that is always off under any pattern.
LCD Panel Bright/Dark Dot Warranty & Regulation
Since LCD panel is made up of millions of microelectronic pixels, if one pixel no longer functions normally, it will become a bright or dark dot. By ISO 13406-2 standards, ASUS conforms to the acceptance level between 3 to 5 defective bright/dark pixels. In order to deliver ultimate vision experience to ASUS customer, if your panel is less than or equal to the above number of dots, then, it is considered as an acceptable LCD monitor. In addition, the Premium Range of ASUS LCDs offers a unique Zero Bright Dot (Zero Bright Dot) warranty. Please refer to ASUS LCD Monitor Bright/Dark Dot Warranty Table below.
Taking care of your LCD:
- Turn off the LCD if you will not use it for a long time. Doing this will help you save electric power consumption and prolong your LCD's life.
- Do not touch the LCD with your fingers, sharp, and/or hard object so as not to scratch the LCD.
- Use monitor-cleaning sheet to lightly wipe off the dirt from the LCD. Do not use your fingers!
- Do not use any chemicals or detergents to clean the LCD.
- Use a screen saver to avoid the damage caused by long-term static (non-moving) images displayed.
