User Instructions
Screen Image retention
Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP
Monitor) on the plasma monitor panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention.
This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.
Height
The PDP Monitor can only operate normally at heights under 6500ft.
Heat on the top of the PDP Monitor
The top side of the product may be hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel
through the vent hole in the upper part of the product.
This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operation failure of the product.
However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the product.
The product is making a ‘cracking’ noise.
A ‘cracking’ noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change of
surrounding environment such as temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the
unit.
Cell Defects
The PDP Monitor uses a panel consisting of 1,230,000(SD-level) to 3,150,000(HD-level) pixels
which require sophisticated technology to produce. However, there may be a few bright or dark
pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.
Avoid operating the PDP Monitor at temperatures below 5°C (41°F)
A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Monitor Panel
Watching the PDP Monitor in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave
traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused
by the difference of light emission on the screen.
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effect to the screen.
Damage caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
Afterimage on the Screen.
Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may
produce partial after-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images for a
long time.
Warranty
- Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
- Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
