There have been several attempts in the past to define the acceptable number of defective pixels. But this can be difficult and varies widely between different manufacturers. MEDION, therefore, adheres to the clear and strict requirements of ISO 13406- 2, class II, for the warranty handling of all TFT display products. These re- quirements are summarized below.
Page 24
Example 1: A 15” - XGA-display consists of 1024 horizontal and 768 vertical picture dots (pixel), which amounts to a total of 786,432 pixel. Related to one million pixels this translates into a factor of about 0.8. Class II type failure consequently allows for two defects each of type 1 and type 2 and 4 defects of type 3 and 2 clusters of type 3.
