PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free) LCD Monitors and TVs may have an image retention when switching from one image to another especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time. This guide is to demonstrate a correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from Image retention. Warranty Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention. Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
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. Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the LCD panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there may be slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal (LC) in a pixel.
Features RTA Monitor RTA (Response Time Accelerator) A function that accelerates the response speed of the panel so as to provide a sharper and more natural video display. RTA On Activates the RTA function so that the panel operates at a higher response speed than its original speed. RTA OFF Deactivates the RTA function so that the panel operates at its original response speed.
