z When first turning on the LCD monitor, if the picture does not fit in the display area,
it is because of the type of computer that is used. In such case, adjust the picture
position to its correct position.(See Operating the Monitor)
z The screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off the power switch and then turn it
on again the flickering should disappear.
z Users may notice a little uneven brightness on the screen depending on the
desktop pattern they use. It is normal for LCD monitors to show such uneven
brightness.
z Due to the nature of the LCD screen, switching of images after a prolonged period
of time of displaying the same image, the image from the previous screen may
remain. In such case, the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or
turning off the power switch for hours.
z 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.
