Image Persistence
Please be aware that LCD monitors may experience a phenomenon known as “image persistence.”
Image persistence occurs 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, LaCie recommends displaying moving images and us-
ing a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor
when not in use.
