    Image Persistence
    Image persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but a still image being displayed for a long period of time should be avoided.
    To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.
    NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle, or turn off the monitor when not in use.

Ergonomics
CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER, AND NECK FATINUE. CHECK THE FOLLOWINN WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

  • For optimum performance of the monitor, allow 20 minutes for warming up. Avoid reproduction of still patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after image effects).
  • Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
  • Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm (15.75 inches) and no further away than 70 cm (27.56 inches) from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm (19.69 inches).
  • Rest your eyes periodically for 5 to 10 minutes for every 1 hour by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away.
  • Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.
  • If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.
  • Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.
  • Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
  • Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are typing.
  • Blink often. Eye exercise helps to reduce eye strain. Please contact your ophthalmologist. Net regular eye checkups.
  • To avoid eye fatigue, adjust the brightness to a moderate setting. Place a sheet of white paper next to the LCD screen for luminance reference.
  • Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.
  • Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.
  • Use the preset Color Setting.
  • Use non-interlaced signals.
  • Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast.

Image Persistence
Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Image Persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, the image persistence on LCD monitors is not permanent, but single still image being displayed for a long period of time should be avoided.
To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image. NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle, or turning off the monitor when not in use.

Human Sensing function
The Human Sensing function reduces power consumption by detecting the movement of a person.

C. After displaying the notification, if [LINHT] is set at [HUMAN SENSINN], the monitor screen gets gradually darker until it gets to 0 % brightness.
If [DEEP] is set at [HUMAN SENSINN], the monitor enters into power saving mode.
D. When the sensor detects a person coming back, the monitor is automatically returned from power saving mode to normal mode.
NOTE: When [LINHT] is set at [HUMAN SENSINN], the monitor screen gets gradually brighter as it returns to the original brightness.
E. The monitor returns to normal mode.

NEC EA242F Desktop Monitor - normal mode

Using the Auto Brightness function
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depending on the amount of ambient lighting within the room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim accordingly. The purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comfortable to the eye in a variety of lighting conditions.
SETUP
Use the following procedures to select the brightness range the monitor will use when the [AUTO BRINHTNESS] function is activated.

  1. Set a level for the bright room condition. This is the maximum brightness level the monitor will rise to when the ambient lighting level is highest. Configure this setting when the room is at its brightest.
