The LCD panel and backlight have life expectancy. Due to the basic characteristics of the LCD panel, an afterimage or uneven display
may occur. It is recommended that you change images occasionally, activate the power saving function, or often turn off the power to
reduce the load on the LCD panel. Continuous operations of the LCD panel may accelerate the deterioration.

To avoid irreparable change in appearance of the screen such
as uneven color, discoloration, scratches, be careful about the
following:

Wipe stains off the LCD panel with a soft cloth. If the screen gets
heavily stained, wipe it with a soft cloth soaked in water-diluted
neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
