The TFT LCD of the notebook computers
contain over 921.000 thin film
transistors (TFTs). A small number of missing, discolored or lighted
dots (on all the time) is characteristic of TFT LCD technology.
Excessive pixel problems can cause viewing concerns.
The LCD should be replaced if the number of missing or discolored,
or lighted dots in any colored background is 21 or more.
