Notice for this monitor
Aside from creating documents, viewing multimedia content, and other general purposes, this product is also suited to
applications such as graphics creation and digital photo processing, where accurate color reproduction is a priority.
This product has been adjusted specically for use in the region to which it was originally shipped. If the product is
used outside the region, it may not operate as specied in the specications.
This product may not be covered by warranty for uses other than those described in this manual.
The specications noted in this manual are only applicable for power cords and signal cables specied by us.
Use optional products manufactured or specied by us with this product.
As it takes about 30 minutes for the performance of electrical parts to stabilize, adjust the monitor 30 minutes or more
after the monitor power has been turned on.
In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to maintain the stable luminosity, use of a monitor in
lower brightness is recommended.
When the screen image is changed after displaying the same image for extended periods of time, an afterimage may
appear. Use the screen saver or power save function to avoid displaying the same image for extended periods of time.
Periodic cleaning is recommended to keep the monitor looking new and to prolong its operation lifetime. (Refer to
“Cleaning” on the next page.)
The LCD panel is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, note that the appearance of any missing
pixels or lit pixels does not indicate damage to the LCD monitor. Percentage of effective pixels : 99.9994% or higher.
The backlight of the LCD panel has a xed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins to icker, please
contact your dealer.
Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in the display malfunction, such as the
interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continually applied to the LCD panel, it may deteriorate or damage your LCD
panel. (If the pressure marks remain on the LCD panel, leave the monitor with a white or black screen. The symptom
may disappear.)
Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a pencil or pen as this may result in damage to the
panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the LCD panel.
When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly, dew condensation
