LCD Panel
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 will 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.
