Pixel Policy

The EVGA monitor is evaluated on the number of acceptable non-performing pixels and the distance between each non-performing pixels. The terms “non-performing” and “defective pixels/sub-pixels” are used interchangeably for ease of identification. All monitors have been tested to ensure they comply with this standard. To identify non-performing pixels, the monitor shall be viewed under normal operating conditions, preferably in its native resolution, and from a normal viewing distance of at least 50 cm (16 in.). During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state. The visible result is a fixed pixel that appears as an extremely tiny dark or bright discolored dot. When the pixel remains permanently lit, it is known as a “bright dot.” When the pixel remains black, it is known as a “dark dot.”

In almost every case, these fixed pixels are hard to see and do not detract from display quality or usability. A display with 1 to 5 bright or dark dots is considered normal and within industry standards.
