Horizontal Frequency
The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the
left edge of the screen horizontally is 
called 

the Horizontal
Cycle and the inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is
called the Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz
Vertical Frequency
Like a fluorescent lamp, the screen has to repeat the same
image many times per second to display an 
 image to the
user. The frequency of this repetition is called the Vertical
Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz Specifications

							Information
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: 1920 x 1200
• 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 6,912,000.  When cleaning the monitor and the panel outside, please apply the recommended small
amount of cleaner by using a  soft 

cloth to polish. Do not force the LCD area but rub softly.
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 appeared as window
termination button is pressed.
If there's still noise after the automatic adjustment, use the  Fine/Coarse adjustment func-
tion.  When viewing a fixed screen for an extended period of time, a residual image or blur-
riness 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.
PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free) LCD Monitors and TVs may have image 
 retention when switching from one image to another espe-
cially 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. However, if
the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric charge accumu-
lates 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 51
 
						

							when switching to a new video image. All display products, including LCD, are subject to
image retention. This is not a product defect.
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.  Suggestions for specific applications
Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets,  Banks, 
and Controlling Systems We recom-
mend 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 Information
52
 
						

							Ex)
• Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.
Ex)  
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 conditions.
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

Terms Dot Pitch The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue
dots. The closer the dots, the higher the resolution. The dis-
tance between two dots of the same color is called the Dot
Pitch. Unit: mm
Vertical Frequency The screen must be redrawn several times per second in
order to create and display an image for the user. The fre-
quency of this repetition per second is called the Vertical
Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz
Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per sec-
ond, this is regarded as 60 Hz.
Horizontal Frequency The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the
left edge of the screen horizontally is called the Horizontal
Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called
Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz
Interlace and Non-Interlace
Methods Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to
the bottom sequentially is called the Non-Interlace method
while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called
the Interlace method. The Non-Interlace method is used for
the majority of monitors to ensure a clear image. The Inter-
lace method is the same as that used in TVs.Appendix
57 
						

							Plug & Play
This is a function that provides the best quality screen for
the user by allowing the computer and the monitor to ex-
change information automatically. This monitor follows the
international standard VESA DDC for the Plug & Play func-
tion.
Resolution The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose
the screen image is called the resolution. This number
shows the accuracy of the display. A high resolution is good
for performing multiple tasks as more image information can
be shown on the screen.
Example: If the resolution is 1920 x 1200, this means the
screen is composed of 1920 horizontal dots (horizontal res-
olution) and 1200 vertical lines (vertical resolution).
