Special notes on LCD monitors

The following are normal with the LCD monitor and do not indicate a problem.

  Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off the 

power switch and then turn it on again to make sure the flicker disappears.

  You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern you use.

  The LCD screen has 99.99% or more effective pixels. It may include blemishes of 0.01% or less such 

as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all the time.

  Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after 

switching the image, when the same image is displayed for hours. In this case, the screen is 
recovered slowly by changing the image or turning off the power switch for a few hours.
