Care & Cleaning

•  Before you lift or reposition your monitor, it is better to disconnect the cables 

and power cord. Follow the correct lifting techniques when positioning the 

monitor. When lifting or carrying the monitor, grasp the edges of the monitor. 

Do not lift the display by the stand or the cord.

•  Cleaning. Turn your monitor off and unplug the power cord. Clean the monitor 

surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed 

with a cloth dampened with mild cleaner.

•  Avoid using a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended 

for use with the LCD. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen, as it may drip 

inside the monitor and cause an electric shock.

The following symptoms are normal with the monitor:

•  The screen may flicker during the initial use due to the nature of the fluorescent 

light. Turn off the Power Switch and turn it on again to make sure that the 

flicker disappears.

•  You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the 

desktop pattern you use.

•  When the same image is displayed for hours, an afterimage of the previous 

screen may remain after switching the image. The screen will recover slowly or 

you can turn off the Power Switch for hours.

•  When the screen becomes black or flashes, or cannot work anymore, contact 

your dealer or service center to fix it. Do not repair the screen by yourself!
