-   The TFT colour LCD panel used in this monitor 

is made with the application of high precision 
technology. However, there may be minute 
points on the screen where pixels never light or 
are permanently lit. Also, if the screen is viewed 
from an acute angle there may be uneven 
colours or brightness. Please note that these 
are not malfunctions but common phenomena 
of LCDs and will not affect the performance of 
the monitor.

-   Do not display a still picture for a long period, 

as this could cause a residual image.

-   If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum 

setting, it may be diffi cult to see the screen.

the quality of the display. We recommend using
