High-precision and advanced technologies are necessary in the production of color liq-
uid crystal displays (color LCDs). Therefore, if 0.002% or less of the picture elements
either fail to light or remain constantly lit (that is, more than 99.998% of elements are
functioning properly), no defect is considered to exist.
Changing the number of colors of the display may affect the screen. Restart the computer.
