Appendix D: Power Management
The LCD Monitor complies with the VESA DPMS (version 1.0p)
power management proposal. The VESA DPMS proposal
provides four phases of power saving modes by detecting the
horizontal or vertical sync signal.
Appendix E: DDC (Plug and Play)
This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel)
standard. DDC is a signal standard for carrying out the Plug &
Play function on the monitor or PC. It transfers information,
such as the degree of resolution between the monitor and PC.
You can use this function if your PC is DDC compliant and if it
is set so that it can detect the Plug & Play monitor.
There are many types of DDC, depending on the system. This
monitor works with DDC2B.

ERGONOMIC RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not operate the monitor in a dark room or against a bright
background. For optimal viewing comfort, the monitor should
be just below eye level and 16-24 inches (40-60 cm) away from
your eyes. When using the monitor over a prolonged period of
time, a 10-minute break per hour is recommended.

Special Notes On LCD Monitors
The following conditions are normal with LCD monitors and do
not indicate a problem.
• When turning on the LCD monitor for the first time, the
picture may not fit in the display area. This is because of the
type of computer being used. In this case, adjust the picture
position to its correct position. (See the section, “Operating
the Monitor”.)
• The screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off the power
switch and then turn it on again; the flickering should
disappear.
• Users may notice some uneven brightness on the screen
depending on the desktop pattern they use. It is normal for
LCD monitors to show such uneven brightness.
• Due to the nature of LCD screens, switching to a new image
following prolonged use of the same image may render the
screen unable to display the new image. In this case, the
screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or by
turning off the power switch for hours.
• If the screen becomes dark, flickers, or does not light up,
contact your dealer or the nearest service center for a
backlight replacement. Do not attempt to replace it yourself.
• If you need to return your unit for service and the original
packaging was discarded, please contact your dealer or the
nearest service center for advice or replacement of packaging.
