User Note: Backgrounds
Your HEIGH10+ head unit utilizes a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel to display clear, crisp images in a variety of lighting conditions. Your HEIGH10+ unit is optimized to provide the highest quality image in a variety of use cases, but you should be aware that certain contrast ratios and backgrounds can cause temporary image retention. When customizing your background, avoid images that include high contrast static patterns; these images can cause temporary image retention in LCD panels through repeated use. Retained images should vanish within 10-40 minutes of normal operation. If you see from your custom background, we strongly suggest you choose another option, or use one of the included HEIGH10+ background options to ensure uninterrupted enjoyment. :)

User Note: Backgrounds
Your HEIGH10+ head unit utilizes a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel to display clear, crisp images in a variety of lighting conditions. Your HEIGH10+ unit is optimized to provide the highest quality image in a variety of use cases, but you should be aware that certain contrast ratios and backgrounds can cause temporary image retention. When customizing your background, avoid images that include high contrast static patterns; these images can cause temporary image retention in LCD panels through repeated use. Retained images should vanish within 10-40 minutes of normal operation. If you see from your custom background, we strongly suggest you choose another option, or use one of the included HEIGH10+ background options to ensure uninterrupted enjoyment. :)
