Safety instructions
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those
specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical
hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.
• Place the monitor on a solid surface and handle it carefully. The screen is fragile
and can be damaged if dropped or hit sharply.
• Always be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC
power available in your location.
• Keep the monitor in room temperature. Excessive cold or hot conditions can have
an adverse effect on the liquid crystal of the display.
• Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For
example, do not place the monitor inside a car trunk.
• Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of
time.
• To avoid electric shock, do not attempt to remove any cover or touch the inside
of the monitor.
For information on safety instructions, see the Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory
Information (SERI) document.

• Optimize eye comfort with a flicker-free screen and ComfortView feature which
minimizes blue light emission.
WARNING: The possible long-term effects of blue-light emission from
the monitor may cause damage to the eyes, including eye fatigue, digital
eye strain, and so on. The ComfortView feature is designed to reduce the
amount of blue-light emitted from the monitor to optimize eye comfort.
* 1 ms is achievable in the MPRT mode and reduces visible motion blur and increases
image responsiveness. However, this may introduce some slight and noticeable visual
artifacts into the image. As every system setup and every gamer’s needs are different,
we recommend that users experiment with the different modes to find the setting that
is right for them.
