You can have an uneven picture quality on screen if the best picture quality is not provided for TFTLCD. • Resolution: 1680 x 1050 • 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.
Information During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. However, if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric charge accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal. This may cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus, the previous image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display products, including LCD, are subject to image retention. This is not a product defect.
Information • Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance • Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes Ex) • Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement. Ex) The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or System to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it. Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal conditions.
Information Our LCD Monitor satisfies ISO13406-2 Pixel fault Class II 59
