PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)

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 by the warranty.

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

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.

void using a combination of characters and background color with large

difference in luminance.

void 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)

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

Features

What is a network monitor?

A network monitor can be used for the same purposes as a common monitor. It also provides the functionalities of most computers, such as an Internet connection, creating documents, editing images, via a connection to the host PC over the LAN. In addition, it allows you to connect an external device (DSC, MP3, external storage media) to the USB port and play music, movies and games. It is a new concept monitor.

You also can share the screen being displayed on your network monitor with other users by connecting a projector or other display device to its RGB OUT port. You can use this functionality for video conferencing and a variety of shared tasks.

In addition, because Windows XP is installed on your network monitor, you can perform Internet searches and USB memory searches independently of your host PC.

What is XPe Client?

(

n Microsoft Windows XP Embedded(XPe) client uses the Microsoft Windows XP Embedded operating system. When an XPe client is connected to a Citrix ICA server or another server that can provide the Microsoft RDP service, data for the keyboard, mouse, audio/video and display are transmitted through the network between the client and the server.

Connectable Servers

This manual describes the functions provided by the XPe Client. However, it does not explain general functionalities of Windows XP Embedded. For more general information on Windows XP

Embedded , refer to Windows XP Embedded Help provided by Microsoft.

Independent Computing Architecture) Server

Remote Desktop Protocol) Server

Logon

When the client starts, you can logon to the server by entering your username and password. The default usernames already configured are ‘Administrator’ and ‘User’, and their passwords are a space.

Auto Log On

The client can log onto the server using a predefined account without the user information having to be manually entered every time.

Only an administrator (that is, only when you logged on as an administrator) can specify the username, password, and domain for an account for which ‘auto log on’ is activated. At this time, the password cannot be left empty.

Windows XP Embedded Desktop

Use

When a user logs in, the User Desktop appears, as shown in the figure below. The default icons that appear on the User Desktop are Citrix Program Neighborhood, Remote Desktop Connection and Internet Explorer. You can also run this connection from the Start menu. The audio volume icon, VNC server icon and system time are displayed on the User Taskbar. When logged on as a user, there are many restrictions that protect the system from incorrent user actions. You cannot access the system drives and there are restrictions on configuring properties for them. To configure the client’s advanced and detailed settings, log on as an administrator.

Administrato

If you logon as Administrator, the Administrator Desktop appears, as shown in the figure below. The default icons that appear on the Administrator Desktop are My Computer, My Network Places, Citrix Program Neighborhood, Remote Desktop Connection, Internet Explorer, and Recycle Bin. You can also run the Citrix Program Neighborhood, Remote Desktop Connection, and Internet Explorer from the Start menu. The audio volume icon, VNC server icon, Enhanced Write Filter status icon, and system time are displayed on the Administrator Taskbar. The Administrator privilege is required for adding and removing programs.

Log off, Restart, Shut down

- To log off the current session, shut down or restart your client, use the Start menu. Click Start → Shut down. The Shut Down Windows dialog box is displayed. Select an operation from the combo box and click OK. You can also log off or shut down your client using the Windows Security dialog box displayed when pressing the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys. If ‘Force Auto Log on’ is activated, you will be immediately logged on after each log off.

- The Client Log off, Restart and Shutdown take effect on the operations of the EWF(Enhanced Write Filter). To keep the changed system configuration, you must save a cache for the current system session into flash memory. Failing to do so will cause the changed configuration to be lost when the client is shutdown or restarted. (In the case of logging off, the configuration is remembered when loggin in again.) For more information on the Enhanced Write Filter, refer to the Program Help .

Programs

- XPe Client is a client/server-based computing platform. On this platform, the client accesses the server each time it needs a program and it only receives the user interface screens from the server. Hence, various programs, such as ICA, RDP, and VNC, which are installed on a XPe Client, are used to help the client access the server and perform user tasks.

Citrix Program Neighborhood

Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) allows you to use applications on the server through a wide range of platforms and networks regardless of their basis. The ICA MetaFrame Server separates the application’s internal logic from the user interface. Due to this separation, users only work with the user interface on the client. The actual application is 100% run on the server. In addition, running an application through ICA only uses approximately 10% bandwidth compared to running it locally. By using this feature of ICA, users can do more work on the client than working locally. The core technologies of ICA are as follows:

Thin Resource

- Low system requirements needed for running ICA; a computer equipped with an Intel 286 processor and 640K RAM is sufficient. This means ICA can be run on any computer that exists at present. Thin Wire

- The default bandwidth required by ICA protocol is 20 kbps, on average. Therefore, even with a Dial-Up or ISDN connection, a consistent performance is maintained. Any program, however large it is, can be run stably at a low bandwidth. Universal Application Client

- The Citrix ICA protocol separates the user interface from the application. While an application is running on the WinFrame multi-user application server, its user interface is running on the thin client software of WinFrame. Hence, in any environment, it is possible to run applications fast. Platform Independent

- ICA is inherently being operated regardless of the operating system platform. Because the clients for UNIX, OS/2, Macintosh, and Non-DOS are already on the market, you can run Windows applications on these operating systems.

The Citrix Program Neighborhood is a program that manages these ICA connections. To start the Citrix Program Neighborhood, select Start → Programs → Citrix → MetaFrame Access Clients → Program Neighborhood, or double-click the Citrix Program Neighborhood icon.

To create a new ICA connection, double-click the Add ICA Connection icon and follow these steps:

1. Select the type of connection to create.

2. Type the connection name and the server name (IP address or DNS name).

3. Configure the degree of compression for the data to be sent and received, and the degree of

reliability for sessions.

4. To login to the server automatically, enter your username, password and domain. If you do not enter

them now, you will be prompted to enter them whenever you connect to the server.

5. You can specify the color and size of the window to be displayed.

6. If a connection succeeds, the server’s desktop appears on the client. In this step, you can make an

application run automatically.

7. Click Finish to complete creating the new connection.

For more information on the ICA Client Program, visit the Citrix web site.

The Remote Desktop Connection

You can control a running terminal server or another computer (Windows 95 or later) remotely through a remote desktop connection.

Remote Desktop

- Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000/2003 Server must be installed on the computer to be controlled remotely. This computer is called a host.

remote computer running on an operating system later than Windows 95 is required. This

remote computer is called a client. The client software for the remote desktop connection must be installed on the client.

- You must also be connected to the Internet. A broadband Internet connection is good for high performance. However, because the remote desktop transmits a minimum set of data including the display data and keyboard data to control the host remotely, a broadband Internet connection is not required. You can run a remote desktop on a low bandwidth Internet connection.

When running a remote desktop on Windows XP Professional, you cannot use the operating system of your computer.

Enabling Your Computer as the Host

You must enable the Remote Desktop feature to control it from another computer. You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to enable Remote Desktop on your computer. Follow these steps:

- Open the System folder in the Control Panel. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel,

and then double-click the System icon.

- On the Remote tab, select the “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer” checkbox.

- Ensure that you have the proper permissions to connect to your computer remotely, and click

OK.

- Leave your computer running and connected to the client’s network with Internet access.
