Notice for this monitor
Aside from general purposes like creating documents, viewing multimedia content, this product is also suited to 
applications such as graphics creation and digital photo processing, where accurate color reproduction is a priority. 
This product has been adjusted specifically for use in the region to which it was originally shipped. If the product is 
used outside the region, it may not operate as specified in the specifications.
This product may not be covered by warranty for uses other than those described in this manual.
The specifications noted in this manual are only applicable when the following are used:
 · Power cords provided with the product
 · Signal cables specified by us
Only use optional products manufactured or specified by us with this product.As it takes about 30 minutes for the performance of electrical parts to stabilize, adjust the monitor 30 minutes or more 
after the monitor power has been turned on.
Monitors should be set to a lower brightness to reduce changes in luminosity caused by long-term use and maintain a 
stable display.
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 power save function to avoid displaying the same image for extended periods of time.
Periodic cleaning is recommended to keep the monitor looking new and to prolong its operation lifetime (Refer to 
“ Cleaning ” on the next page).
The LCD panel is manufactured using high-precision technology. Although, missing pixels or lit pixels may appear on 
the LCD panel, this is not a malfunction. Percentage of effective dots: 99.9994% or higher. 
The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed lifetime. 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 display malfunctions, such as interference 
patterns, etc. If pressure is continually applied to the panel, it may deteriorate or damage your panel. (If the pressure 
marks remain on the panel, leave the monitor with a black or white screen. The symptom may disappear.)
Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, as this may result in damage to the panel. Do not attempt 
to brush with tissues as this may scratch the panel.
When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly, dew condensation may 
occur on the interior and exterior surfaces of the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on. Instead wait until 
the dew condensation disappears, otherwise it may cause some damage to the monitor.
