PRECAUTIONS
LCD Panel
In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to maintain the stable luminosity, use of a
monitor in lower brightness is recommended.
The LCD panel is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, note that the appearance of any
missing pixels or lit pixels does not indicate damage to the LCD monitor.
Percentage of effective pixels : 99.9994% or higher.
The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker,
please contact your dealer.
Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in damage to the screen. There
will be prints left on the screen if the pressed image is dark or black. If pressure is repeatedly applied to the
screen, it may deteriorate or damage your LCD panel. Leave the screen white or black to decrease the prints.
When the screen image is changed after displaying the same image for extended periods of time, an
afterimage may appear. Use the screen saver or timer to avoid displaying the same image for extended
periods of time.
When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly, dew
condensation may occur inside and outside the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on and wait until
dew condensation disappears, otherwise it may cause some damages to it.
Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a pencil or pen as this may result in
damage to the panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the LCD panel.
