LCD screen
• The LCD screen is made of glass and may crack if subjected to
excessive force.
• Black (dark) pixels and continuously lit pixels may appear in certain
locations on the LCD screen. The appearance of such spots is a
normal occurrence associated with LCD screens and is not a sign of
a system malfunction. LCD screens are made using highly precise
technology. However, a very small number of dark pixels or
continuously lit pixels exist on each screen. Also, a distorted image
may remain on the screen for several seconds after the system has
been turned off.
• Direct exposure to sunlight may damage the system's LCD screen.
Be careful when using the system outdoors or near a window.
• When using the system in a cold environment, you may notice
shadows on the graphics or the screen may appear darker than usual.
This is not a malfunction, and the screen will return to normal when
the temperature goes up.
• Do not leave still images displayed on the screen for an extended
period of time. This may cause a faint image to be left permanently
on the screen.
