f50 15-inch monitor  
The HP f50 TFT monitor uses high-precision technology,  
manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free  
performance. Nevertheless, the 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 D5063 LCD. 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.  
A defective whole pixel is always on (a bright spot on a dark  
background), or it is always off (a dark spot on a bright  
background). The first is the more visible of the two.  
A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective  
whole pixel and is small and only visible on a specific  
background.  
The HP D5063 display does not have more than:  
10 total dot defects.  
10 defective full pixels.  
10 defective red sub-pixels.  
4 defective green sub-pixels (green is most visible).  
10 defective blue sub-pixels.  
No more than two adjacent (less than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge) and  
defective pixels.  
No more than two pairs of two adjacent defective pixels.  
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under  
normal operating conditions, 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 LCDs with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP  
will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.

Regulatory Information  
TCO '99 (European Union Only)  
Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO '99 approved and  
labeled 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 to the further  
development of environmentally adapted electronics products.  
This product meets the requirements for the TCO '99 scheme which  
provides for an international environmental and quality labeling of  
personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint  
effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional  
Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society  
for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish  
National Energy Administration), and SEMKO AB.  
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environmental,  
ergonomic, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields,  
energy consumption and electrical safety.  
Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?  
In many countries, environmental labeling 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 (for example, 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.

hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor  
Regulatory Information  
What does the environmental labeling involve?  
The environmental demands have been developed by Svenska  
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature  
Conservation). These 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  
monitor, 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.

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 in fish-eating birds and mammals,  
1
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.  
2
Cadmium:* *  
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-  
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 colour-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 labeled unit.  
There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being,  
permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there  
today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on  
removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

Regulatory Information  
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.  
*1 Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living  
organisms.  
*2* Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
