TIPS

• Using this monitor’s screen-size switching or dual-screen display functions to compress or expand the screen for 

commercial or public viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of the creators, as 
protected by Copyright Law, so please be careful.

• When “Enlarge” is set, the screen size is fi xed to “WIDE” mode.
• When dual-screen display is selected, the screen size cannot be changed.
• When using the screen-size switching function of this monitor, the appearance of the original video may change if 

you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original image (e.g. TV broadcast or video input from 
external equipment). Please consider this point when selecting the screen size.

• When an ordinary non-wide image (4:3) is viewed with the whole screen using the screen-size switching function 

of this monitor, the edge of the image may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the creator’s 
intentions, set the screen size to “NORMAL”.

• When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) may be cropped. In this case select the 

optimal screen size using the screen-size switching function of this monitor. With some software, there may 
be noise or distortion at the edges of the screen. This is due to the characteristics of the software, and is not a 
malfunction.

• Depending on the original image size (e.g. CinemaScope size), black bands may remain at the edges of the 

screen.
