About the Screen Protect Panel

The screen protect panel is made of toughened glass, but
there is a possibility that it may crack. Handle with care.

 Avoid strong impact, such as dropping from a high

place.

 Do not damage the panel with a sharp object. The glass

may crack due to the damage.

On a Long Period of Use

Due to the characteristics of LCD panel, displaying static
images for extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly
in a high temperature/high humidity environments may
cause image smearing, burn-in, areas of which
brightness is permanently changed, lines, or a decrease
in overall brightness.

In particular, continued display of an image smaller than
the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio,
may shorten the life of the unit.
Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or
using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high
humidity environment such an airtight room, or around
the outlet of an air conditioner.

To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend
reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power
whenever the unit is not in use.

Users can only select the degree of contrast, which
increases from levels C1 (minimum) to C8 (maximum).

The A.I.M.E. Structure Enhancement Function
emphasizes the outline and edges of objects.
Users can select the degree of the structure enhancement
level, which increases from levels S1 (minimum) to S4
(maximum).
The image may seem blurred by applying the A.I.M.E.
Color Enhancement Function.

Feat ures

The blur can be compensated for by using the A.I.M.E.
Structure Function at the same time.
Users can select the degree of the structure enhancement
from levels S1 (minimum) to S4 (maximum) for this
purpose according to their preference.

A.I.M.E. is a registered trademark of Sony Corporation.
A.I.M.E. is an optional function for enhancing the color
or structure of the displayed image.
Like the other settings of the monitor, users must adjust
or deactivate A.I.M.E. when appropriate.

Screen protect panel

OptiContrast panel

The “OptiContrast” design that fills up the air layer
between the LCD panel and screen protect panel with
bonding resin is employed. By eliminating the air layer,
this panel prevents diffused reflection and decrease in
contrast. It also prevents condensation due to rapid
temperature change.

Control panel

Assigns functions frequently used during an operation
to buttons on the front surface of the monitor. The panel
provides an user interface superior in operability
through navigation by luminescent colors and status of
the buttons.

Flat surface for better maintenance

The design allows the user to easily wipe liquids and gel
off the LCD panel and control buttons – ensuring a high
standard of disinfection and cleanliness.

Simple connector notation

All the connectors face downwards, allowing for easy
and organized cable connection.

Cover designed for attachment

Grip that is easy to hold

The easy-to-grip ergonomic design enables the user to
make tiny adjustments simply and quickly.
