Performance tips

Here are some general guidelines for working with your
monitor:
•
Place your monitor away from sources of magnetic
interference, such as other monitors, unshielded
speakers, and electric power lines. (If your computer
came with speakers, those speakers are shielded.)
•
Keep the monitor screen clean by using a
nonabrasive screen or glass cleaner. Do not spray
the cleaner directly on the screen.
•
Under some conditions, interference patterns, such
as curved, shadowy lines can occur. If these patterns
appear on your screen, change your software
application's background color or design.
•
To extend the life of your monitor, turn it off at the
end of each day.
•
Check the documentation that came with your
software applications to see if it will let you select
combinations of resolution and color. This could
make viewing the screen more comfortable.
