technology. However, in all LCD panels there maybe a small number of
defective pixels that do not change color. This is a normal occurrence for
all LCD displays from all manufacturers and should not be noticeable or
objectionable under normal operation. AAEON qualify the LCD panel
following industry standard: total 7 dead pixels on a screen or if there are
3 within 1 inch square area of each other on the display.
