Philips Pixel Defect Policy
Philips Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of \
the industrys most advanced manufacturing processes and practice 
stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub pixel defects on the TF\
T LCD panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable. No 
manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defec\
ts, but Philips guarantees that any monitor with an unacceptable number 
of defects will be repaired or replaced under warranty. This notice expl\
ains the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect 
levels for each type. In order to qualify for repair or replacement unde\
r 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 pi\
xels on a 15 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 prim\
ary 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 tog\
ether appear as a single white pixel. When all are dark, the three colored 
sub pixels together appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations o\
f 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. Ther\
e are two categories of pixel defects and several types of sub pixel 
defects within each category. 
Bright Dot Defects Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit o\
r 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 ty\
pes 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)

Philips Pixel Defect Policy
 
 
 
A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50 percent brighter than neighboring dots while a gre\
en 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 t\
ypes 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 o\
ne another may be more noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for 
the proximity of pixel defects. 
 
Pixel Defect Tolerances
In order to qualify for repair or replacement due to pixel defects durin\
g the warranty period, a TFT LCD panel in a Philips flat panel monitor must 
have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the f\
ollowing tables.
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL 
MODEL 170C7
1 lit subpixel 3 or fewer
2 adjacent lit subpixels 1 or fewer
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel) 0
Distance between two bright dot defects* 15 mm or more
Total bright dot defects of all types 3 or fewer
 
BLACK DOT DEFECTSACCEPTABLE LEVEL 
MODEL 170C7
1 dark subpixel 4 or fewer
2 adjacent dark subpixels 2 or fewer
