LCD Panel
The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that 
provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number 
of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics 
of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.
