8PRECAUTIONS
LCD Panel
When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room
temperature goes up quickly, dew condensation may occur inside
and outside the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on
and wait until dew condensation disappears, otherwise it may
cause some damages to it.
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.
The screen may have defective pixels. These pixels may appear as
slightly light or dark area on the screen. This is due to the
characteristics of the panel itself, and not the product.
The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When the
screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, please contact your
dealer.
Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this
may result in damage to the screen. There will be prints left on the
screen if the pressed image is dark or black. If pressure is
repeatedly applied to the screen, it may deteriorate or damage
your LCD panel. Leave the screen white to decrease the prints.
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 screen image is changed after displaying the same image
for extended periods of time, an afterimage may appear. Use the
screen saver or timer to avoid displaying the same image for
extended periods of time.

Selecting the Active Input
The Input Signal Selection Button on the control panel can be used to select either
SIGNAL 1 or SIGNAL 2 as the active input at any time. Every time the button is
pressed, the input changes. When switching the signal, the kind of the input signal
(Signal1 or 2/Analog or Digital) is displayed for a few seconds on the right top corner

a priority is set, whenever a change of signal is detected at the selected input, the
monitor will switch the input to that signal.
In the case of only one signal being present at either input, the monitor automatically
detects and displays that signal.
NOTE
zWhen the “1” or “2” is selected, the power saving mode of the monitor activates
only if both PCs are in power saving mode.
Priority setting Performance
