PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)

y

LCD Monitors and TVs may have an image retention when switching from one image to another especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time. This guide is to demonstrate a correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from Image retention.

Warrant

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention. Burn-in is not covered b

What is Image retention ?

During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. However, if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric charge accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal. This may cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus, the previous image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display products, including LCD,are subject to image retention. This is not a product defect.

Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention

the warranty.

Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode

Ex)

z

Turn the power off when using a stationary pattern.

- Turn the power off for 4 hours after 20 hours in use

- Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use

z Use a Screen saver if possible

- Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.

z

Set the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.

Suggestions for specific applications

Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems We recommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below:

Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle.

Ex) Cycle : Display Information for 1 hour followed by a Display Logo or moving image for 1 minute.

Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors).

Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.

Avoid using a combination of characters and background color with large difference in luminance. Avoid using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.

z

Avoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)

Ex)

z

Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance

- Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes Ex)

- Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.

Ex)

y

The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or S

stem to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it.

Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal conditions.

Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the LCD panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there may be slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal (LC) in a pixel. The voltage difference between electrodes increases with time, forcing the liquid crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seen when the pattern is changed. To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased.

Our LCD Monitor satisfies ISO13406-2 Pixel fault Class II

RTA Monitor

RTA (Response Time Accelerator)

A function that accelerates the response speed of the panel so as to provide a sharper and more natural video display.

RTA On Activates the RTA function so that the panel operates at a higher response speed than

its original speed.

RTA OFF Deactivates the RTA function so that the panel operates at its original response speed.

Self-Test

Self-Test Feature Check | Warning Messages | Environment | Useful Tips

Your monitor provides a self test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly.

Self-Test Feature Check

Turn off both your computer and the monitor.

Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.

Turn on the monitor.

If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a box in the illustration below.

This box appears during normal operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.

Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.

If your monitor screen remains blank after using the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.

Warning Messages

If there is something wrong with the input signal, a message appears on the screen or the screen goes blank although the power indicator LED is still on. The message may indicate that the monitor is out of scan range or that you need to check the signal cable.

Environment

The location and the position of the monitor may influence the quality and other features of the monitor.

If there are any sub woofer speakers near the monitor, unplug and relocate the woofer to another room. Remove all electronic devices such as radios, fans, clocks and telephones that are within 3 feet (one meter) of the monitor.

Useful Tips

A monitor recreates visual signals received from the computer. Therefore, if there is a problem with the computer or the video card, this can cause the monitor to become blank, have poor coloring, become noisy, and video mode not supported, etc. In this case, first check the source of the problem, and then contact the Service Center or your dealer.

Judging the monitor's working condition

If there is no image on the screen or a "Not Optimum Mode", "Recommended Mode 1680 X 1050 60 Hz" message comes up, disconnect the cable from the computer while the monitor is still powered on.

If there is a message coming up on the screen or if the screen goes white, this means the monitor is in working condition.

In this case, check the computer for trouble.
