TIPS

•  Using this monitor’s screen-size switching 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 fixed to WIDE mode.

•  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). 

•  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, black bands may remain at the edges of the screen.
