We stand behind the quality of every monitor with a generous 3 years warranty. Within the warranty period, any AOC displays with manufacturing defects or faulty components will be repaired or replaced at no additional charge. In case of a missing proof of purchase (POP), the warranty period is considered to have started from the date of manufacturing indicated on the product or from the serial number of the product and will end after 39 months.
Pixel Policy -ISO 9241-307 Class 1
For AOC monitors we follow Pixel Policy -ISO 9241-307 Class 1. This Pixel Policy explains the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect levels for each type. To obtain service within the warranty period, the number of pixel defects on your product’s panel must exceed our Pixel Policy levels.
We strives to deliver the highest quality products and therefore use some of the industry's most advanced manufacturing processes and practice stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub pixel defects on LCD Monitor panels are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but we guarantees that any LCD Monitor with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced under warranty.
Types of Pixel and Sub Pixel
Bright Full Pixel: all 3 Sub Pixel Red Green Blue are permanently lit, which creates a Bright Full Pixel
Black Full Pixel: all 3 Sub Pixel Red Green Blue are permanently unlit, which creates a Black Full Pixel
Sub Pixel: all other combinations of lit and dark Sub Pixels appear as other colors
Types of Pixel Defects with acceptable level
Bright Dot Defects: appear as a Full Pixel or Sub Pixel that remains permanently lit, resulting in a white or colored dot on a Black background.
Black Dot Defects: appear as a Full Pixel or Sub Pixel that remains permanently unlit, resulting in a black or colored dot on a White background.
