This monitor contains high-voltage parts.
8. Do not use this equipment near water. To reduce the risk of fire
or electric shock, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture.
9. Avoid exposing the monitor to direct sunlight or other sources
of sustained heat. Do not install near any heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices (including
amplifiers) that may increase the temperature of the monitor to
dangerous levels.
10. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. If further cleaning is required, see
“Cleaning the Display” in this guide for further instructions.
11. Avoid touching the screen. Skin oils are difficult to remove.
12. Do not touch, rub or apply pressure to the monitor screen, as it
may permanently damage the screen.
13. Place the monitor in a well-ventilated area. Do not place
anything on the display that prevents heat dissipation.
14. Do not place heavy objects on the display, video cable, or power
cord.
1
15. If smoke appears, an abnormal noise, or a strange odor is
present, immediately switch the display off and call your dealer
or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue using the display.
16. Do not attempt to circumvent the safety provisions of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has
two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade and the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the plug does not fit
into your outlet, obtain an adaptor and do not attempt to force
the plug into the outlet.
17. When connecting to a power outlet, DO NOT remove the ground
prong. Please ensure grounding prongs are NEVER REMOVED.
18. Protect the power cord from being treaded upon or pinched,
particularly at the plug, and at the point where it emerges from
the equipment. Be sure that the power outlet is located near the
equipment so that it is easily accessible.
19. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
20. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
equipment. When a cart is used, use with caution
when moving the cart/equipment combination to
avoid injury from tipping over.
21. Unplug this equipment when it will be unused for long periods of
time.
2
22. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service will be
required when the unit has been damaged in any way, such as:
if the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, if liquid is spilled
onto or objects fall into the unit, if the unit is exposed to rain or
moisture, or if the unit does not operate normally or has been
dropped.
23. Excessive sound pressure from ear-/headphones can cause
hearing damage /hearing loss.
24. Adjustment of the volume control as well as the equalizer may
increase the ear-/ headphones output voltage and therefore, the
sound volume level.
25. The factors influencing the ear-/headphones output other than
those specified by the manufacturer (e.g. operating system,
equalizer software, firmware, driver) may increase the ear-/
headphone output voltage and therefore, the sound volume
level.
26. NOTICE: MONITOR MAY OVERHEAT AND SHUT DOWN!
If monitor shut down, please reboot your monitor. After reboot,
test the new Max Refresh rate by enabling it in the NVIDIA
Control Panel.
If you don't see an image, please disconnect the DP cable and
use the monitor OSD to try again with a safer Max Refresh.

instructions on “changing the refresh rate”, please refer to the
graphics card’s user guide.
25
3-3. Setting the Timing Mode
Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality
of the screen image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode
consists of the resolution (example 1920 x 1080P) and refresh
rate (or vertical frequency; example 60 Hz). After setting the timing
mode, use the OSD (On-screen Display) controls to adjust the
screen image.
For optimal picture quality, please use the recommended timing
mode specific to your LCD monitor listed on the “Specification”
page.
To set the Timing Mode:
• Please see your graphics card manager for adjusting the
resolution and refresh rate.
Set up your widescreen LCD
Set your monitor resolution to its native resolution to get the best
experience possible, with brilliant color and crisp text. Here is how:
1. Go to your display resolution settings window (each operating
system will have a different process to get there).
2. Next, adjust the display resolution setting to match your
monitor’s native resolution. This will provide you with your best
usage experience.
If you have difficulty setting the resolution or you do not see
1920x1080 as an available option, you may need a newer video
card driver. Contact your computer or video card manufacturer to
obtain the latest driver.

Note: Viewing computer screens for extended periods of time may
cause eye irritation and discomfort. To reduce these effects, it
is recommended to take periodic breaks from viewing to allow
the eyes to relax.
Calculating Breaks
When viewing the monitor for extended periods, it is recommended
to take periodic breaks from viewing. Short breaks of at least 5
minutes are recommended after 1 -2 hour of continuous viewing.
Taking shorter, more frequent breaks are generally more beneficial
than longer, less frequent breaks.
Looking at distance objects
While taking breaks, users can further reduce eye strain and
dryness by focusing on objects that are further away from them.
• Eye Exercises
Eye exercises can help minimize eye strain. Slowly roll your eyes to
the left, right, up, down and repeat as needed.
• Neck Exercises
Neck exercises can also help minimize eye strain. Relax your arms
to let them hang at your sides, bend forward slightly to stretch
the neck, turn your head to the right and to the left and repeat as
needed.
