    • 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.

    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.

    Sync Signal 
    Sync (Synchronized) Signals refer to the standard signals that are required to display desired colors on the 
    LCD Display. They are divided into Vertical and Horizontal Sync Signals. These signals display normal color 
    im ag es  by  the  s e t r es olu tion  a nd  fr eq ue nc y . 
    Types of Sync Signals
     
    SeparateThis  is  a  sc h eme  of tr an s mittin g in div idu al v er tica l sy n c s ign als  to the  L C D D is pla y.
    Co mp os it eThis is a scheme of combining vertical sync signals into one composite signal and 
    transmitting it to the LCD Display. 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. Unit: mm  
     
    Vertical Frequenc y 
    The  sc r ee n mu st be  re dr aw n s ev e ra l time s  p er  se c on d in o rd er  to  c r ea te  an d dis p lay  an  imag e for  th e u se r.

    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. Unit: kHz 
     
    Interlace and Non-Interlace Me t hods 
    Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom  sequentially is called the Non-Interlace 
    meth od  w h ile s ho win g o dd  lin es  an d the n e ve n lin es  in tur n is  c a lled  th e Inte rla ce  meth od . Th e N on - In ter lac e 
    method is used for the majority of LCD Display s to ensure a clear im age. The Interlace method is the sam e 
    as  th at us e d in TVs . 
     
    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).
