Note on image retention
The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness
of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images.
Please refer to the user manual for this model for instruction on how to use these features.

Always display the image in a mode that fills the screen.
