Pixel policy
Beetronics monitor pixel policy
Beetronics 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 monitor panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes
unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Beetronics guarantees that any monitor
with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced under warranty. This Pixel Policy 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 monitor panel must exceed these acceptable levels.
Pixels and subpixel definition
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three subpixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue. When all subpixels of pixel are lit,
the three colored subpixel together appear as a single white pixel. When all are dark, the three colored subpixels together appear as a
single black pixel.

To identify non-performing pixels, the monitor shall be viewed under normal operating conditions, preferably in its native resolution, and
from a normal viewing distance of at least 50 cm (16 in.)
Under these conditions the Beetronics monitor shall not show more than (whichever of the following limits is reached first):
- a total of 5 non-performing pixels (of whatever type), or
- 3 bright non-performing pixels appearing as a red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta, or white dot on a dark or black background, or
- 3 dark non-performing pixels appearing as a black dot on a bright or white background, or
- 2 non-performing pixels of any type located less than 10 mm from each other.
