On a Long Period of Use

Due to the characteristics of LCD panel, 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, continued display of an image smaller than
the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio,
may shorten the life of the unit.
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.
