{2043SW/2043SWX} For Better Display Adjust the computer resolution and screen injection rate (refresh rate) on the
computer  as described 

below  to  enjoy  the  best  picture  quality.  You  can  have  an
uneven picture quality on screen if the best picture quality is not provided for TFT-
LCD.
• Resolution: 1600 x 900
• Vertical frequency (refresh rate): 60 Hz  TFT-LCD panels manufactured by using advanced semiconductor technology
with a  precision 

of 1ppm (one millionth) and above is used for this product. But the
pixels of RED, GREEN, BLUE and WHITE color seem to be bright sometimes or
some of black pixels could be seen. This is not from bad quality and you can use
it without any problems.
• For example, the number of TFT-LCD sub pixels contained in this product are 4,320,000.   When  cleaning  the  monitor  and  the  panel  outside,  please  apply  the  recom-
mended small amount 
 of cleaner by using a soft cloth to polish. Do not force the
LCD area but rub softly. Information

							If excessive force is applied, you may stain it.
  If  you  are  not  satisfied  with  the  picture  quality,  you  can  get  better  quality  of
picture by  performing 
the "Auto Adjustment  function" in display screen that is ap-
peared as window termination button is pressed.
If there's still noise after the automatic adjustment, use the  Fine/Coarse adjustment
function.  When viewing a fixed screen for an extended period of time, a residual image
or blurriness may appear.
Change the mode 

to energy save or set a screensaver to move the picture when
you need to be away from the monitor for an extended period of time.
{2043SW/2043SWX} PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free) LCD Monitors  and 

TVs may have image retention when switching from one image to another
especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time.
This  guide  is  to  demonstrate  correct  usage  of  LCD  products  in  order  to  protect  them  from
Image retention.  
Warranty
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
 What is Image retention ?
During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. How-
ever, if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric
charge accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal.
This may cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus,
the  previous  image  is  retained  when  switching  to  a  new  video  image.  All  display
products, including LCD, are subject to image retention. This is not a product de-
fect.
Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention.
 Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode
Ex)
• Turn the power off when using a stationary pattern.
• Turn the power off for 4 hours after 20 hours in use
• Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use
• Use a Screen saver if possible • Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.
• Set the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.

							Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems We
recommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below: Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle.
Ex)  Cycle  :  Display  Information  for  1  hour  followed  by  a  Display  Logo  or  moving
image for 1 minute.
 Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors).
Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.
Avoid using a combination of characters and background color with large difference
in luminance.
Avoid using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.
•
Avoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)
Ex) •
Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance
• Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes
Ex) •
Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.

							 The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or
System to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it.
Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal con-
ditions.
Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the
LCD panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there
may be slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal
(LC)  in  a  pixel.  The  voltage  difference  between  electrodes  increases  with  time,
forcing the liquid crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seen
when the pattern is changed.
To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased. Information
