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.

an. 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.
