Philips LCD Panel Pixel Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of \
the industrys most advanced 
manufacturing processes and practise stringent quality control. However,\
 pixel or sub pixel defects 
on the TFT LCD panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoida\
ble. No manufacturer 
can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Phili\
ps guarantees that any monitor 
with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced unde\
r warranty. This notice 
explains the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable def\
ect 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 0.0\
004% of the sub pixels 
on a 15 XGA monitor may be defective. Furthermore, Philips sets even hi\
gher 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 
subpixels together appear as a single white pixel. When all are dark, th\
e three colored sub pixels 
together appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and d\
ark sub pixels appear as 
single pixels of other colors.

Philips Pixel Defect Policy
 
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 types of bright dot defects:
One lit red, green or blue 
sub pixelTwo 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 pixelTwo 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 d\
efects exceeding the 
tolerances listed in the following tables.
 
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
MODEL BDL4221V
1 lit sub pixel 0
2 adjacent lit sub pixels 0
3 adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel) 0
75% ~ 50% of Dot 0
50% ~ Less Dot (Weak Dot) Max 7
Distance between two bright dot defects* N/A
Total bright dot defects of all types 0

Philips Pixel Defect Policy
Tiny bright dots less then 50% R/B, 30% GMax 4
* Bright Dot is defined as dots (sub-pixels) which appeared brightly i\
n the screen when the LCM 
displayed with whole pattern & Bright Dots brightess is defined over 50\
% of the brightness against 
around. (but, Green bright dot is over 30% of brightness against around\
)
* Here in Tiny Bright Dot is defined as for Red and Blue the bright ar\
ea should be no longer than 
1/2 sub-pixel and for green the bright area should be no larger than 1/3\
 sub-pixel. BLACK DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
MODEL BDL4221V
1 dark sub pixel 5 or fewer
2 adjacent dark sub pixels 1 or fewer
3 adjacent dark sub pixels 0
Distance between two black dot defects* 15 mm or more
Total black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
 
TOTAL DOT DEFECTSACCEPTABLE LEVEL
MODEL BDL4221V
Total bright or black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
Note: 
* 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
All Philips monitors are ISO13406-2 Compliant
