KFA2 LCD Monitors Warranty Policy

The sharp detail and vivid colors from each and every KFA2 LCD panel is made up of millions of tiny pixels; the very building blocks of any image you see on your display, with the ability to project billions of color variations. However, if one pixel no longer functions properly, it will become a bright/dark pixel – displaying a color that is not intended; usually contradicting with the colors around it.


Monitor Pixel Defect Warranty Policy:

  • Bright Pixel > 3 Pixels, Bright Pixels gap < L >=15mm
  • Dark Pixel > 5 Pixels

KFA2 conforms to the acceptance level of up to either 3 bright pixels or 5 dark pixels. If your panel is within our acceptance level stated, you will not be eligible to claim through our warranty coverage.

Please refer to the KFA2 LCD Monitor Bright/Dark Pixels Warranty Table below: 

After Purchase Bright Pixels Dark Pixels
2 Years 6 Months 1 Year (cables and bundled gifts are excluded from the warranty)


Bright / Dark Pixel Definition & Testing Conditions:

To identify non-performing pixels, the monitor shall be viewed under normal operating conditions, preferably in its native resolution, and from a normal viewing distance of at least 50 cm (16 in.). 

  • Bright Pixel: To accurately test for bright pixels, monitor must display a singular color of black imagery covering the whole resolution of the monitor.

- If a pixel appears bright/colored within this black imagery, the pixel is defined as a “bright pixel”.

  • Dark Pixel: To accurately test for dark pixels, monitor must display a singular color of white/red/green/blue covering the whole resolution of the monitor.

- If a pixel appears black under these conditions, the pixel is defined as a “dark pixel” or a missing subpixel.

KFA2 will entertain any warranty request concerning non-performing pixels. However, it should be noted that non-performing pixels are innate within the current LCD panel manufacturing process. As such, KFA2 cannot guarantee that the return unit to our customers will be 100% free of pixel defects or have fewer numbers of defects than the accepted standard of non-performing pixels as outlined before.

For any IPS panel monitor, it is typical for users to see a kind of glow on the monitor while displaying a dark image on the screen. It may not be a backlight bleeding effect but an IPS glow which cannot be completely prevented due to limitations of IPS screen technology.

IPS glow is a common characteristic of IPS display panels. Although it is not possible to completely eliminate the issue, KFA2 will dedicate to minimise the effects of it by withholding a high standard of inspection and production.

To enjoy the best quality of images, KFA2 advises users in viewing the monitor at a proper distance and angle, as well as adjusting the brightness and contrast to a level which comforts the eyes of the users.

Under normal handling and installation, damage such as detached frame should not be able to occur. But if there is any misuse of the product, which includes but not only applying excessive pressure or force onto the display panel or frame, the frame will then be damaged due to human factors.

We do not advise users in pressing or tapping the panel as that will further damage the product, causing issues such as "clouding" of the screen.

To ensure the monitor’s quality, it is strongly advised to follow the instructions of the user manual while setting up the monitor. Please visit: https://www.kfa2.com/kfa2/user-manual-download for more info.

It may be caused by a defective or loose cable. Please follow instructions below:

1) Open monitor OSD menu -> “Settings” -> Select “Reset”

2) Unplug the cables at both ends and plug them back in securely.

3) Try with a spare cable to see if the issue persists.

4) Try with a spare graphics card to see if the issue persists.

If the issue is persistent, please reach out to your local service centres for checking the hardware or contact us at https://www.kfa2.com/kfa2/contacts/ for technical support.
