ABOUT LCD PANEL
Common Phenomena of LCD Panel
The following are the common phenomena when operating LCD Panel due to its structural reason.
Please note that they are not malfunctions.
Defective Spots on Panel
The LCD panel is manufactured with high-precision technology. However, there might be some spots that are not
emitted, brighter than the others, or in different colours, etc.
Surface on Panel
The LCD panel displays images by blinking the fl uorescent lamps internally. This could raise the temperature of the
display surface.
In addition, do not impact strongly on the surface of the panel because LCD panel is made with fi ne processing
glass.
The Usage under the Low Temperature Environment
Because of the structural characteristics of the LCD panel, the response speed of the LCD panel becomes slower
when the ambient temperature around the monitor becomes too low. In some cases, it may cause the residual
image.
The residual image will disappear on its own as the temperature goes up and back to normal.
