reduce burn-in. When an almost still image is displayed
for more than 10 minutes, the screen saver starts
automatically and the brightness of the screen decreases.

On a Long Period of Use

Due to an OLED's panel structure and characteristics of
materials in its design, displaying static images for
extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high
temperature/high humidity environments may cause
image smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is
permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall
brightness.
In particular, continually displaying an image smaller
than the monitor screen, such as displaying an image in
a different aspect ratio or displaying an image with a
frame, may expedite the above issues.
Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or
using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high
humidity environment such an airtight room, or around
the outlet of an air conditioner.
To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend
reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power
whenever the unit is not in use.
