DARK FAULT
In this pixel fault, a cell that should light originally is not lighting or lighting with the brightness twice as brighter as originally lighting.
For checking this pixel fault, input 100% of each R/G/B colour and find out the cell that is not lighting.
FLICKER FAULT
In the pixel fault, a cell that should light originally or not light originally is flashing on and off.
For checking this pixel fault, input ALL BLACK SCREEN signal or 100% of each RGB colour and find out the cell that is flashing on and off.
