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.
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.

Data Re-programming
In case the DDC data memory IC or main EEPROM which storage all factory settings were replaced due to a defect, the serial numbers have to be re-programmed "Analog DDC IC, Digital DDC IC & EEPROM".
It is advised to re-soldered DDC IC and main EEPROM from the old board onto the new board if circuit board have been replaced, in this case the DDC data does not need to be
re-programmed.
Additional information
Additional information about DDC (Display Data Channel) may be obtained from Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
Extended Display Identification Data(EDID) information may be also obtained from VESA.
