Troubleshooting
The following are not malfunctions.
Solutions to common problems related to the monitor are described here. If none of the solutions presented here solve the problem, unplug the
monitor and consult an authorized dealer or service center.
When a still image is displayed for a long time, it may remain indistinctly on the screen after the picture has changed. Though the remaining
picture will disappear after a while, there may be a case that it remains for a long period depending on the length of time the still image was
displayed for. This is due to the characteristics of the LCD display and is not a malfunction.
