This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology
used in active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s inspection
standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels
are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact
Gateway Customer Care to identify whether a repair or
replacement is justified based on the number of pixels
affected.
