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 screen may have defective pixels. These pixels may appear as slightly light or dark area on the screen. This is due to the characteristics of the panel itself, and not the product.

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 to decrease the prints.

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.
