 For Better Display 
 
1. Adjust computer resolution and screen injection rate (refresh rate) on computer as described below to 
enjoy the best quality of picture. You can have an uneven quality of picture in the screen if the best 
quality of picture is not provided in TFT-LCD.  
 
{Resolution: 1280 x 1024  {Vertical frequency (refresh rate): 60 Hz 
 
 
						

							2. TFT LCD panels manufactured by using advanced semiconductor technology with precision of 1ppm 
(one millionth) above are used for this product. But the pixels of RED, GREEN, BLUE and WHITE 
color appear to be bright sometimes or some black pixels may be seen. This is not from bad quality 
and you can use it without any problelms. 
 
{For example, the number of TFT LCD sub pixels contained in this product are 3,932,160.  
 
3. 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. 
 
4. 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 theres still noise after the automatic adjustment, use the FINE/COARSE adjustment function.  
 
5. When viewing a fixed screen for an extended period of time, residual image or blurriness may appear. 
Change the mode to energy saving mode or set a screensaver to a changing picture when away from 
the monitor for an extended period of time.  
 
6. Do not display a still image( such as on a video game or when hooking up a DVD to this LCD_TV ) on 
the Color TFT-LCD ( Thin Film Transister Liquid Crystal Display) panel for a long time as it can cause 
screen image retention. This image retention is also known as screen burn. To avoid such image 
retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.

							PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free) 
 
LCD Monitors and TVs may have an image retention when switching from one image to another 
especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time.  
This guide is to demonstrate a correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from 
Image retention.  
 
WarrantyWarranty 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 doesnt occur. However, 
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 defect.  
Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention  
Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode 
Ex) 
zTurn the power off when using a stationary pattern. 
zUse a Screen saver if possible 
zSet the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.  
 - Turn the power off for 4 hours after 24 hours in use 
- Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use  
- Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.  
Suggestions for specific applications 
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.  
 
zAvoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)  
Ex)  
 
 
zRecommended 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.  
 
						

							Ex)
The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or 
S
ystem 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. 
 
Our LCD Monitor satisfies ISO13406-2 Pixel fault Class II
