Information For Better Display Adjust the computer resolution and screen inection 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: 1360 x 768 • 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 3,133,440 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 theres 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 LCD Display for an extended period of time. PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free) What is Image Retention ? 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.

The LCD Display displays the color signals by se pa ra ting th e c omp os ite s ign al in to or igin al c olo r s ign als . Dot Pi tch The image on a LCD Display is composed of red, green and blue dots. The closer the dots, the higher the resolution. The distance between two dots of the same color is called the Dot Pitch.

U n it: H z Example:If the same light repeats itself 60 tim es per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz. Horizonta l 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.

Plu g & Play This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user by allowing the computer and the LCD Display to exchange information automatically. This LCD Display follows the international standard VESA DDC for the Plug & Play function. 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 m ore im ag e in fo rm ation ca n b e s ho wn on th e s cr ee n. Example:If the resolution is 1360 x 768 , this means the screen is composed of 1360 horizontal dots (h orizo nta l reso lution ) a nd 7 68 ve rtical lin es (vertica l re so lutio n).
