Image Persistence
Image persistence is when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike
CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a
long period of time should be avoided.
To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For
example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be
turned off for one hour to erase the image.

NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display recommends using a moving
screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.
