Notes on the LCD Panel of This Display

• The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel of this display has a very thin protective layer
of glass which is liable to marking or scratching, and cracking if struck or pressured.
The liquid crystal substrate is also liable to damage under excessive force or
extreme temperatures. Please handle with care.
• The response time and brightness of the LCD panel may vary with the ambient
temperature.
• Avoid placing the display in direct sun or where direct sun or spot lighting will shine
onto the LCD panel, as the heat may damage the panel and the external casing of
the display, and the bright light will make viewing the display more difficult than
necessary.
• The LCD panel consists of individual pixels to display images and is manufactured
according to the design specifications. While 99.9% of these pixels work normally,
0.01% of the pixels may remain constantly lit (in red, blue or green) or unlit. This is a
technical limitation of the LCD technology and is not a defect.
• LCD screens, like plasma (PDP) and conventional CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screens,
are also susceptible to 'screen burn-in' or 'image retention' which can be found on
the screen as visible fixed lines and shades. To avoid such damage to the screen,
avoid displaying still images (like On-Screen Display menus, TV station logos, fixed/
inactive text or icons) for more than two hours. Change the aspect ratio from time to
time. Fill the entire screen with the image and eliminate the black bars whenever
possible. Avoid displaying images in 4:3 aspect ratio over a long period of time,
otherwise there may be visible burn marks on the screen as two vertical lines.
