Note: a. If the set is cold, there may be a small “flicker” when the set is
switched on. This is normal, there is nothing wrong with the set.
b. If possible, use the VESA 1,024x768@60Hz video mode to
obtain the best image quality for your LCD monitor. If used to PC vertical frequency 85Hz, some
noise can be seen when PIP is on. In this case, set the PC verti­cal frequency to 60Hz. The set has been pre-adjusted to the mode VESA 1,024x768@60Hz.
