•The screen may have defective pixels. These pixels may appear as slightly light or dark area on
the screen or may appear spontaneously. This is due to the characteristics of the panel itself,
and is not a malfunction of the product.
•Over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display,
such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.
•The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins
to flicker, please contact your dealer.
•Some people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while watching
video images. BenQ recommends that all viewers take regular breaks while watching video
