Image persistence
• Image persistence is when a "ghost" of an image remains on the screen even after
the monitor has been turned off. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors' image persis-
tence is not permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn the monitor off for as
long as an image was displayed. If an image was on the monitor for one hour and a
"ghost" of that image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase
the image.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC Technologies recommends using a
screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle.
