Notice for this monitor
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 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 fixed life span. 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 the display malfunction, such as the 
interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continually applied to the LCD panel, it may deteriorate or damage your LCD 
panel. (If the pressure marks remain on the LCD panel, leave the monitor with a white or black screen.  The symptom 
may disappear.)
Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a pencil 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 condensation 
disappears, otherwise it may cause damage to the monitor.
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 timer to avoid displaying the same image for extended 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.
