5PRECAUTIONS
LCD Panel
In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to maint\
ain the stable luminosity, use of a monitor in 
lower brightness is recommended.
The LCD panel is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, note that the appearance of any missing 
pixels or lit pixels does not indicate damage to the LCD monitor.
Percentage of effective pixels: 99.9994% or higher.
The backlight of the LCD panel has a fi xed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins to  fl icker, 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 or black to decrease th\
e prints.
Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a p\
encil or pen as this may result in damage to the 
panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the LCD \
panel.
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 condensati\
on 
disappears, otherwise it may cause damage to the monitor.
When the screen image is changed after displaying the same image for ext\
ended periods of time, an afterimage may 
appear. Use the screen saver or timer to avoid displaying the same image for e\
xtended periods of time.
To use the monitor comfortably
An excessively dark or bright screen may affect your eyes. Adjust the brightness of the monitor according to the 
environmental conditions.
Staring at the monitor for a long time tires your eyes. Take a 10-minute rest every hour.
