Operating Environment - NEC PlasmaSync 42XC10 User Manual

To avoid or minimize image
retention:
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to image
retention under certain circumstances. Certain operating
conditions, such as the continuous display of a static
image over a prolonged period of time, can result in image
retention if proper precautions are not taken. To protect
your investment in this plasma monitor, please adhere to the
following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing
the occurrence of image retention:
• Always enable and use your computer's screen saver
function during use with a computer input source.
• Display a moving image whenever possible.
• Change the position of the menu display from time to
time.
• Always power down the monitor when you are fi nished
using it.
To reduce the likelihood of
image retention from long-term
use:
• Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as
possible without impairing image readability.
• Display an image with many colors and color gradations
(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).
• Create image content with minimal contrast between
light and dark areas. Use complementary or pastel colors
whenever possible.
• Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defi ned borders between colors.
Plasma monitor driving sound
• Th e panel of the Plasma monitor is composed of
extremely fi ne pixels and these pixels emit light
according to received video signals. Th is principle may
cause you to hear a buzz or electrical hum coming from
the Plasma monitor. Also note that the rotation speed
of the cooling fan motor increases when the ambient
temperature of the Plasma monitor becomes high. You
may hear the sound of the motor at that time.
NOTE: Th e following items are not covered by the
warranty.
• Image retention
• Panel generated sound. Examples: Fan motor
and electrical noises circuit humming /glass panel
buzzing.
