TFT display manufacturing is a highly precise but imperfect technology, and manufacturers cannot
produce displays that are cosmetically perfect. Most, if not all, TFT displays exhibit some level of

displays in their products and is not specific to the HP notebook display.

displays with fewer inherent cosmetic imperfections, and we will adjust our HP guidelines as these
improvements are implemented.
