Display Issue: Pixel Anomalies

All HP notebook displays adhere to strict quality and reliability specications. A small percentage of display

panels may have minor cosmetic manufacturing anomalies or irregularities such as bright or dark dots in the

viewable area. These cosmetic imperfections are common to all display panel types and are not specic to

any HP model or product line.

All display panel defects should be examined at the highest possible resolution using both the brightest and

darkest possible backgrounds, because some sub-pixel failures may not be readily visible under certain

conditions.

●

Type 1: Bright dot on a dark background = Always On

●

Type 2: Dark dot on a bright background = Always O

●

Combination = in any combination and any color that are always on or o

Use the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) tool to determine numbers of pixels and their distance. HP uses

the following set of criteria when damaged displays are submitted for warranty coverage.
