The first part in the great tragedy of pixel defects. We'll examine the structure of typical screens and the causes of various problems. We'll discuss both widely known issues like dead pixels and screen burn-in, as well as issues that haven't been discussed at all, such as partial subpixel defects. This video will play a crucial role in correctly understanding subsequent videos, which will have enormous practical significance.
