About the Monitor
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the Monitor
screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on
the screen. This is not a malfunction. Though the Monitor screen parts are
produced with highly controlled precision technology, some pixels may be
inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on a card.
