The display has pixels that are always dark or too bright
This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in
active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to a
minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense on your
display, contact Gateway Technical Support to identify whether a repair or
replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
