LCD Panel Technology
Q12: What kind of wide-angle technology is available?
A: Currently, the IPS type panels offer the best Contrast Ratio, compared to MVA, or PVA technologies. TN panels have
improved over the years, but still cannot match the Contrast Ratio offered by IPS panel.
Q13: What is Image Sticking, or Image Burn-in, or After Image, or Ghost Image in LCD panels?
A: Uninterrupted display of still or static images over an extended period may cause "burn in", also known as
"after-imaging" or "ghost imaging", on your screen. "Burn-in", "after-imaging", or "ghost imaging" is a well-known
phenomenon in LCD panel technology. In most cases, the "burned in" or "atter-imaging" or "ghost imaging" will disappear
gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off.
Always activate a moving screen saver program when you leave your monitor unattended.
Always activate a periodic screen refresh application if your LCD monitor will display unchanging static content.
WARNING: Severe"burn-in" or "after-image" or "ghost image" symptoms will not disappear and cannot be repaired. The
damage mentioned above is not covered under your warranty.
Q14: Why is my Display not showing sharp text, and is displaying jagged characters?
A: A: Your LCD monitor works best at its native resolution of 1280x1024@60Hz. For best display please use this
resolution.
