LCD Panel
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.
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.
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.
Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a pencil or pen
