High-precision and advanced technologies are necessary in the production of color
liquid 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.
When an external display is used that is incompatible with the power saving modes of
the computer, the display may not function correctly when the computer enters the
power saving mode. In such cases, turn off the power to the external display.
Changing the number of colors and refresh rate of the display may affect the screen.
Restart the computer.
