A permanent picture with bright images can result in a burn-in effect. The longer the same
content is displayed on the screen, the longer it will take for the burn-in effect to disappear.
Screen savers that use active black when the backlight is on reduce the burn-in effect. The
brightness of the backlight decreases incrementally during operational life.
• Activate the screen saver, for example, "starfield simulation".
You can extend the service life of the display and the backlight with the following measures:
• Reduce the backlight.
• Pay attention to the length of time the backlight is activated.
Additional information is available in the section "General Technical Specifications".
The manufacturing process of modern displays does not currently guarantee that all pixels of
the display are perfect. It is therefore inevitable that the display will contain a small number
of defective pixels. This does not limit the function in any way provided the defective pixels
are not all in one location.
