PRECAUTIONS
Notice for the LCD Display
• In order to maintain the stable luminous performance, it is recommended to use low brightness setting.
• Due to the lifespan of the lamp, it is normal that the brightness quality of the LCD display may decrease
with time.
• When static images are displayed for long periods of time, the image may cause an imprint on the LCD
display. This is called image retention or burn-in.
♦
To prevent image retention, do any of the following:
• Set the LCD display to turn off after a few minutes of being idle.
• Use a screen saver that has moving graphics or a blank white image.
•
Execute the ANTI-BURN-IN function of the LCD display. See “ANTI Burn in” on page 37
.
• Switch desktop backgrounds regularly.
•
Adjust the LCD display to low brightness settings.
• Turn off the LCD display when the system is not in use.
♦
Things to do when the LCD display shows image retention:
• Turn off the LCD display for extended periods of time. It can be several hours or several days.
• Use a screen saver and run it for extended periods of time.
• Use a black and white image and run it for extended periods of time.
• There are millions of micro transistors inside the LCD display. It is normal for a few transistors to be
damaged and to produce spots. This is acceptable and is not considered a failure.
• IMPORTANT
: Always activate a moving screen saver program when you leave your display unattended.
Always activate a periodic screen refresh application if the unit will display unchanging static content.
Uninterrupted display of still or static images over an extended period may cause “burn in”, also known
as “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging”, on your screen. This is a well-known phenomenon in LCD panel
technology. In most cases, the “burned in” or “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging” will disappear gradually
over a period of time after the power has been switched off.
• WARNING
: Severe “burn-in” or “after-image” or “ghost image” symptoms will not disappear and cannot be
repaired. This is also not covered under the terms of your warranty.
