LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy
Your Hewlett-Packard TFT display uses high precision technology,
manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free
personal computing. Nevertheless, your display may have cosmetic
imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is
common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all vendors
and is not specific to the HP P3901 displays. These imperfections are
caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels.
A pixel consists of one red, one green and one blue sub-pixel.
Defective sub-pixels are less visible than defective whole pixels.
Defective sub-pixels are small and only visible on a specific
background.
Defective means either the pixel or sub-pixel is stuck always ON, a
bright spot on a dark background, or it is stuck always OFF, a dark
spot on a bright background. The first is the more visible of the two.
A dot defect is a stuck sub-pixel.
Your HP P3901 will not have more than:
•
•
•
•
•
•
10 total dot defects
8 stuck full pixels
8 stuck red sub-pixels
5 stuck green sub-pixels (green is most visible)
8 stuck blue sub-pixels
No more than two adjacent pixels may be stuck
Adjacent is defined as less than 15mm edge to edge
•
No more than two pairs of two-adjacent stuck pixels per display
To locate defective pixels, the unit should be viewed under normal
operating conditions and in normal operating mode at a supported
resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm
(16 in.).
HP expects that over time, the industry will continue to improve its
ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP
will adjust our guidelines as improvements are made.

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your
choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has
also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further
development of environmentally adapted electronics products.
Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for
encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as
far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally
harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not
so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these
potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that
are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external)
environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the
environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to
save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby
consumes a lot of energy.
What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international
and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a
joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens
Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability,
emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals,
brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among
other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to
have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company
implements its operational policy.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain
period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more
stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the
reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings.
Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in
a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain
bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of
environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and
the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage
1
in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative processes. Flame retardants
have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus
development may occur.
The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams
must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame
retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Regulatory Information
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain
computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The
relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers of display
screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
2
Mercury
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system
and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not
contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or
electronics components associated with the labelled unit.
CFCs (freons)
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during
the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing
printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the
stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks
of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.
2
Lead
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the
nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement
permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
2.
Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
