Special notes on LCD monitors
The following are normal with the LCD monitor and do not indicate a problem.

pattern you use.
• The LCD screen has 99.99% or more effective pixels. It may include blemishes of
0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or pixel lit all the time.
• Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may
remain after switching the image, when the same image is displayed for hours. In this
case, the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or turning off the power
switch for a few hours.

work periods, bad posture, poor work habits, stress, inadequate working conditions,
personal health and other factors greatly increase the risk of physical injury.

or other musculoskeletal disorders. The following symptoms may appear in the hands,
wrists, arms, shoulders, neck or back:
• numbness, or a burning or tingling sensation
• aching, soreness or tenderness
• pain, swelling or throbbing
• stiffness or tightness

English
If you have these symptoms, or any other recurring or persistent discomfort and/or pain
related to computer use, consult a physician immediately and inform your company’s
health and safety department.
The following section provides tips for more comfortable computer use.
Finding your comfort zone
Find your comfort zone by adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor, using a footrest,
or raising your sitting height to achieve maximum comfort. Observe the following tips:
• refrain from staying too long in one fixed posture
• avoid slouching forward and/or leaning backward
vii
• stand up and walk around regularly to remove the strain on your leg muscles
Taking care of your vision
Long viewing hours, wearing incorrect glasses or contact lenses, glare, excessive room lighting,
poorly focused screens, very small typefaces and low-contrast displays could stress your eyes. The
following sections provide suggestions on how to reduce eyestrain.
English
Eyes
• Rest your eyes frequently.
• Give your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and focusing on a istant point.
• Blink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.
Display
• Keep your display clean.
• Keep your head at a higher level than the top edge of the display so your eyes point
downward when looking at the middle of the display.
• Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for enhanced
text readability and graphics clarity.
• Eliminate glare and reflections by:
• placing your display in such a way that the side faces the window or any light
source
• minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds
• using a task light
• changing the display’s viewing angle
• using a glare-reduction filter
• using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from the display’s top
front edge
• Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.
• Avoid looking at bright light sources, such as open windows, for extended periods of
time.
Developing good work habits
Develop the following work habits to make your computer use more relaxing and
productive:
• Take short breaks regularly and often.
• Perform some stretching exercises.
• Breathe fresh air as often as possible.

supported resolutions and corresponding timing. The monitor supports the DDC2B
standard.

8. Dark boost: This boosts the amplitude of the dark color levels of the display– blacks will
be less black. The higher the level, the higher the boost.
9. Adaptive Contrast: This method usually increases the global contrast of many images,
especially when the usable data of the image is represented by close contrast values.
This allows for areas of lower local contrast to gain a higher contrast.
The method is useful in images with backgrounds and foregrounds that are both bright
or both dark. In particular, the method can lead to better views of bone structure in x-ray
images, and to better detail in photographs that are over or under-exposed.
