Note on LCD panel
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.
