Notes on the LCD panel of this display
• The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel of this display has a very thin protective layer of
glass which is liable to marking or scratching, and cracking if struck or pressured. The
liquid crystal substrate is also liable to damage under excessive force or extreme
temperatures. Please handle with care.
• The response time and brightness of the LCD panel may vary with the ambient
temperature.
• Avoid placing the display in direct sun or where direct sun or spot lighting will shine onto
the LCD panel, as the heat may damage the panel and the external casing of the display,
and the bright light will make viewing the display more difficult than necessary.
• The LCD panel consists of individual pixels to display images and is manufactured
according to the design specifications. While 99.9% of these pixels work normally, 0.01%
of the pixels may remain constantly lit (in red, blue or green) or unlit. This is a technical
limitation of the LCD technology and is not a defect.
• LCD screens, like plasma (PDP) and conventional CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screens, are
also susceptible to 'screen burn-in' or 'image retention' which can be found on the screen
as visible fixed lines and shades. To avoid such damage to the screen, avoid displaying
still images (like On-Screen Display menus, TV station logos, fixed/inactive text or icons)
for more than two hours. Change the aspect ratio from time to time. Fill the entire screen
with the image and eliminate the black bars whenever possible. Avoid displaying images in
4:3 aspect ratio over a long period of time, otherwise there may be visible burn marks on
the screen as two vertical lines.
If display of a still image is required, it is recommended to enable
Image Retention
under
the
Setting
>
Advanced
menu.
Note:
• Under certain circumstances, condensation may occur on the inner side of the cover glass, it's a
natural phenomenon and will not affect the operation of the display. This condensation will usually
disappear after around 2 hours of normal operation.
Notes on condensation
Condensation may form between the display's LCD panel and touch panel glass when there
is a dramatic change in the display's ambient temperature, such as when moving the display
from a cold room to a hot room, or heating the room from a low temperature. This is a
natural phenomenon and will not affect the normal operation of the display.
• If condensation occurs, turn on the display and leave it on for 2 hours. Prevent the display
from going into the standby mode by turing off the
Power Save
and
Auto Search
functions under the
Setting
menu.
• To avoid condensation, wrap the display with a sealable plastic bag before moving it from a
cold place to a hot place, and wait for the display to adjust to the warmer temperature
before unwrapping it. When using or storing the display in a damp environment, consider
placing a dehumidifier or moisture absorbing agents (like silica gel bags) near the display.
