Operation Operation Operating precautions Continuous operation of the display with the same image may result in some image sticking on the LCD panel. Over 10 hours operation with the same image content is not recommended. Switching on DPMS on display and PC and activating a good screen saver may decrease the risk of image sticking (image retention).
Operation About the On-Screen Display (OSD) There are two methods to control the display To control the display you can use: • Quick OSD: To quickly access the most important controls. • Extended OSD: To access all the display controls. The extended OSD can be used in two modes: standard and advanced (see further).
Page 22
Operation The possible Quick OSD menus are:: Brightness Contrast Input selection Luminance Horizontal scaling Scaling Information For more information about these menus, please refer to the chapter about the Extended OSD functions. About the Extended OSD The Extended OSD has a hierarchical tree structure, with several levels. The top level is the “Main Menu”.

*(Lye is a strong caustic alkaline solution of potassium salts.) Panel Important: We recommend to let this cleaning procedure be done in a Barco service center. If not, you must perform the cleaning in a clean and dust-free environment. If there are dust particles on the LCD panel, blow them away by using a dust remover.
Page 46
Cleaning acts like compressed air for a quick and safe removal of dust particles and other dry contaminants on the surface of the lcd panel or the glass panel. Attention: The dust remover contains a liquid gas. If you shake the can or move the can too fast while spraying, you may blow drops of liquid on the panel surface! If this is the case, clean the panel as described below.
