transistors, giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the
screen as a fixed point of red, green, blue, white or black. Please note that this does not indicate a
defective panel.
2. Set your resolution to 1280 x 1024 pixels at 60Hz refresh rate for optimum display quality.
3. Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after
switching the image when the same image has been displayed for a long time. The monitor will
slowly recover from this.
4. The screen surface is very soft. Do not rub, touch or tap the screen surface with sharp object such
as pen or pencil. This contact may scratch or damage the screen. These damages are not covered
under the warranty.
