Do not push, rub, or hit the surface with your fingernail or a sharp object, as this may result in



scratches on the screen and image distortions.
Do not use any chemicals, such as waxes, benzene, alcohol, thinners, insecticides, air fresheners,



lubricants, as these may damage the screen’s finish and cause discolorations.

Cabinet and stand

To remove dust, wipe the cabinet with a dry and soft cloth.
To remove major dirt, wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth dampened in a clean water or water containing a
small amount of mild detergent.

CAUTION

Do not spray liquid onto the surface. If water enters the TV, it may result in fire, electric shock, or



malfunction.
Do not use any chemicals as this may deteriorate the surface.



Power cord

Remove the accumulated dust or dirt on the power cord regularly.

MAINTENANCE

Preventing “Image burn” or “Burn-in” on your TV screen

If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a long period of time, it will be imprinted and become



a permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is “image burn” or “burn-in” and not covered by the
warranty.
If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a long period of time, image burn may occur on the



letterboxed area of the screen.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD)



to prevent image burn.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

ENGLISH

Nothing is displayed on the screen.

Is the monitor's power cord plugged
in?

Is the power indicator on?

Is the power indicator displaying
red?

Is the power indicator blinking?

Check if the power cord is correctly plugged in to the power outlet.

Check the power cable connection and press the power button.

Check that the connected input is enabled (Menu - Input).

If the monitor is in power-saving mode, move the mouse or press any

key on the keyboard to switch the display on.

Check if the computer is turned on.

Is the "OUT OF RANGE" message
displayed?

This occurs when signals transferred from the PC (video card) are out

of the horizontal or vertical frequency range of the monitor. Please
see the "Product Specification" section of this manual to set the
appropriate frequency.

Is the "CHECK SIGNAL
CONNECTION" message is
displayed?

The "OSD LOCKED" message is displayed.

Are some functions unavailable
when pressing the Menu button?

The screen retains an image.

Does image sticking occur even
when the monitor is turned off?

This is displayed when the signal cable between the PC and the

monitor is missing or disconnected. Check the cable and reconnect.

The OSD is locked. Go to Menu > Settings and set "OSD Lock" to

Unlock.

Displaying a still image for a prolonged time may cause damage to

the screen, resulting in the retention of the image.

Use a screen saver to protect the screen when using the monitor for a

prolonged period of time.

NOTE

Vertical Frequency: In order to display an image, the screen must be refreshed dozens of times per



second like a fluorescent lamp.
The number of times the screen is refreshed per second is called vertical frequency or refresh rate
and is represented by Hz.
Horizontal Frequency: The time it takes to display one horizontal line is called the horizontal cycle.



The number of horizontal lines displayed in one second can be calculated by dividing one by the
horizontal cycle. This is called horizontal frequency and is represented by kHz.

NOTE

Check if the video card's resolution or frequency is within the range allowed by the monitor and set to



the recommended (optimal) resolution in Control Panel > Display > Settings.
Failing to set the video card to the recommended (optimal) resolution may result in blurred text, a



dimmed screen, a truncated display area or misalignment of the display.
The configuration procedure may differ depending on your computer and/or operating system. Also,



some video cards may not support certain resolutions. If this is the case, contact the manufacturer of
the computer or video card for assistance.
Some video cards may not support the 2560x1080 resolution.



If the resolution cannot be displayed, contact the manufacturer of your video card.

The display color is abnormal.

Does the display appear discolored
(16 color)?

Does the display color appear
unstable or in monochrome?

Are there spots on the screen?

Set the color to 24 bit (true color) or higher. In Windows, go to Control

Panel > Display > Settings > Color Quality.

Check if the signal cable is connected properly. Reconnect the cable

or reinsert the PC's video card.

When using the monitor, pixilated spots (red, green, blue, white or

black) may appear on the screen. This is normal for the LCD screen. It
is not an error nor is it related to the monitor's performance.
