Specifically for Liquid
Crystal Display (“LCD”) screens:
Shegarf strives to provide
the highest quality LCD display products in the industry. Your Product meets the
Class 2 specifications under the ISO 13406-2 industry guidelines for LCD
monitors.LCD monitors use a
technology based on pixels. A pixel is a combination of three sub-pixels (red,
green and blue) that produces a specific color. There are millions of these
sub-pixels on each LCD screen. Pixel faults on LCD screens can be comprised of
whole pixels or sub-pixels going dark, staying permanently lit or flashing. The
ISO 13406-2 standard allows for a certain number of pixel faults based on the
number of total pixels in the monitor (determined by the screen size). Shegarf
will replace an LCD monitor during the Warranty Period if it meets the following
criteria:
|

Type 1: A full pixel is
always visible on the screen, resulting in a white point.
Type 2: A full pixel does
never illuminate at all, resulting in a dark point.
Type 3: One or two
sub-pixels are always switched on or switched off, resulting in a pixel of one
of the basic colors (red, green, blue, cyan, and magenta, yellow). Or a
continuously blinking pixel occurs.
Faulty Cluster 1: Within a
field of 5x5 pixels there are several malfunctions of Type 1 or Type 2.
Faulty Cluster 2: Within a
field of 5x5 pixels there are several malfunctions of Type 3. Whenever this is
reasonable and at the sole discretion of Shegarf or when this is mandatory by

If your
monitor’s documentation defines a different pixel policy, then this overrules
the pixel policy described in this Limited Warranty.

mandatory by national consumer legislation of the Country of purchase, Shegarf
