Recommendations for using your display system
Operating precautions: How to avoid image retention
Continuous operation of the display with the same image or static
image elements may result in some image sticking on the LCD panel.
This is especially a risk in applications where the display is connected to
a computer.
In mission critical applications, do not activate a screen saver or power
save mode. In other applications, especially when the display is
connected to a computer, take the following precautions:
1.
Switch on DPMS or Power Save on display and PC:
• The display Power Save setting can be switched on in the
display’s
Settings
menu (see Online user manual).
• The PC DPMS setting can be switched on in the Windows XP
Display
control panel (Screen Saver tab > Monitor power. In the
‘Turn off monitor’ drop-down box, select
After 20 mins
.).
2.
Activate a good screen saver
• The screen saver can be selected in the Windows XP
Display
control panel (Screen Saver tab). Select a screen saver without
static elements and select a Wait Time of 10 minutes.
3.
In case you are working with the same image or an application
with static image elements for several hours continuously, change
the image content regularly to avoid image sticking of the static
elements.
