SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS
The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate a
problem. Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker
during initial use. Turn off the
Power Switch and then turn it on again to make sure the flicker disappears.
You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop
pattern you use. The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may
include blemishes of 0.01% or
less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all of the time. Due to the nature
of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after
switching the image, when the same image is displayed for hours. In this case,
the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or turning off the Power
Switch for hours. If the screen suddenly flashes erratically or the
backlighting fails, please contact your dealer or service center for repair.
Do not attempt to repair the monitor yourself.

sources such as radiators or air dusts, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, or excessive dust or mechanical vibration or
shock. Save the original shipping box and packing materials, as they will come
in handy if you ever have
to ship your monitor. For maximum protection, repackage your monitor as it was
originally packed at the factory. To keep the monitor looking new,
periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be
removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never
