Please keep the packaging material and use this exclusively to transport the TFT monitor. Disposal Packaging Your device is in packaging for protection against transport damage. Packaging is made from materials that can be disposed off in an environmentally friendly way and taken to correct recycling. Device Do not throw the device into the normal domestic refuse after the end of its useful life under any circumstances. Obtain information about the possibilities of environmentally friendly and correct disposal. Pixel errors in the TFT monitor A total of approx. 6.2 m control transistors are used in the case of Active Matrix TFTs with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, each composed of three sub-pixels (red, green, blue). A failure or incorrect control of pixels or individual sub-pixels can arise occasionally, because of this very high number of transistors and the extremely complex manufacturing process associated with it. There have been continuous approaches to define the number of permitted pixel errors in the past. However, these attempts have for the most part been very complicated and completely different from manufacturer to manufacturer. MEDION follows the strict and transparent requirement of the ISO 9241-307, Class II Norm, which are summarised in brief in the following, in the handling of guarantees for all TFT display products for this reason.

Among other matters, the 9241-307 ISO Standard defines generally applicable guidelines in relation to pixel errors. The pixel errors are categorised into four error classes and three types of error. Each individual pixel is composed in its turn of three sub-pixels each with a basic colour (red, green, blue).Reproduction of this Handbook

Class of pixel defec

Defect type 1 Continuously lit pixel Defect type 2 Continuously black pixel Defect type 3 Defect to sub-pixel lit black

n* = 1.5 The permitted number of defects for every type named above in each class of pixel defect refers to one million pixels and must be converted accordingly to match the physical resolution of the display.
