Black / White Pixels | An LCD display may contain a small number of pixels that do not function normally (also known as "dead pixels" or "black pixels"). Your display has been inspected and is in compliance with the manufacturer's specifications, meaning that any pixel defects do not affect the operation or use of your display. Without prejudice to generality of the foregoing, dead pixels or black pixels not exceeding 5 dots meet the factory specifications and are not considered a defect under this warranty. Dust Deposit - Warranty Exclusion: Dust may accumulate inside the projector over time. This can affect the image quality and even disrupt the functioning of the device. However, this phenomenon is not considered a defect under this warranty. We recommend regularly cleaning the lens with a soft cloth suitable for glass cleaning. You can also push dry air through the air vents to remove dust from the optical engine inside the device. |
