7 ABOUT LCD PANEL Common phenomena of LCD Panel The following are the common phenomena when operating LCD Panel due to its structural reason. Please note that they are not malfunctions. Defective Spots on Panel The LCD panel is manufactured with high-precision technology. However, there might be some spots that are not emitted, brighter than the others, or in different colors, etc. Surface on Panel The LCD panel displays images by blinking the fl uorescent lamps internally. This could raise the temperature of the display surface. In addition, do not impact strongly on the surface of the panel because LCD panel is made with fi ne processing glass. Residual image When a still image or menu is displayed on the screen for a short time (about a minute) and then switches to another image, it may leave an “after-image” on the screen. The residual image will disappear on its own. The Usage under the Low Temperature Environment Because of the structural characteristics of the LCD panel, the response speed of the LCD panel becomes slower when the ambient temperature around the monitor becomes too low. In some cases, it may cause the residual image. The residual image will disappear on its own as the temperature goes up and back to normal. -%5C711JOEE-%5C711JOEE 32LD8800TA 37LD8800TA HITACHI
