Notes on the LCD Panel of This Display

- The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel of this display has a very thin protective layer of glass which is liable to marking or scratching, and cracking if struck or pressured. The liquid crystal substrate is also liable to damage under excessive force or extreme temperatures. Please handle with care.

- The response time and brightness of the LCD panel may vary with the ambient temperature.

- Avoid placing the display in direct sun or where direct sun or spot lighting will shine onto the LCD panel, as the heat may damage the panel and the external casing of the display, and the bright light will make viewing the display more difficult than necessary.

- The LCD panel consists of individual pixels to display images and is manufactured according to the design specifications. While 99.9% of these pixels work normally, 0.01% of the pixels may remain constantly lit (in red, blue or green) or unlit. This is a technical limitation of the LCD technology and is not a defect.

- LCD screens, like plasma (PDP) and conventional CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screens, are also susceptible to 'screen burn-in' or 'image retention' which can be found on the screen as visible fixed lines and shades. To avoid such damage to the screen, avoid displaying still images (like On-Screen Display menus, TV station logos, fixed/inactive text or icons) for more than two hours. Change the aspect ratio from time to time. Fill the entire screen with the image and eliminate the black bars whenever possible. Avoid displaying images in 4:3 aspect ratio over a long period of time, otherwise there may be visible burn marks on the screen as two vertical lines. Image retention issues are not covered under warranty, see standard warranty terms and conditions for details. For optimal performance, we suggest turning off the backlight power on the display for 8 hours per day.
