Some stationary blue, red or green dots may
appear on the monitor. These are called "bright
spots," and can happen with any LCD. The LCD
panel is precision-manufactured with more than
99.99% of its segments functional. However, it is
possible that a small percentage (typically 0.01%)
of the segments may not light up properly. This
will not, however, interfere with your viewing.
