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

The backlight of the LCD panel has a ﬁ xed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins to ﬂ icker, 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.

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 damage to the monitor.

To use the monitor comfortably

An excessively dark or bright screen may affect your eyes. Adjust the brightness of the monitor according to the environmental conditions.

Staring at the monitor for a long time tires your eyes. Take a 10-minute rest every hour.
