Limited Warranty* One-year parts and labor limited warranty* with concurrent International Traveler’s Warranty** *For a free copy of the standard limited warranty end-users should see a reseller where Acer products are sold or write to Acer America Corporation, Canadian Operations, 5540 McAdam Road, Mississauga, ON L4Z 1P1. TFT displays commonly exhibit a small number of discolored dots, so-called “nonconforming pixels.” This phenomenon is a limitation of TFT LCD technology, not a product defect and, as such, is not covered by the limited warranty or by the upgrade programs. **Valid only in countries where Acer has an authorized repair facility.
