Overview Overview Introduction The MFGD 3420, BARCO’s 20” 3 megapixel grayscale LCD display, guarantees perfect image quality in medical imaging applications. The display combines a TFT (thin film transistor) liquid crystal display panel structure and a built-in backlight with inverter for a better picture quality.
Overview Power saving (DPMS) The MFGD 3420 is equipped with a power saving system. When left idle for a certain time, the computer connected to the display, will power down the display. The power saving system can be switched on or off using the on-screen menus. This system requires a computer imaging board that supports power saving management.
Overview Controls and connectors Figure 5 Front (1) Power LED • The LED is off when the display is off. • The LED is green when the display is on (when enabled in the on-screen menus). • The LED is orange when the display is in Stand-by power- saving mode.

How to avoid image retention How to avoid image retention Image retention (image sticking, ghost image) is the phenomenon where an image, or a part of it, seems to be ‘burnt’ in the LCD panel. When you display e.g. a uniform light gray image you distinguish the ghost image in the background.
Page 32
How to avoid image retention To activate appropriate screen saving, proceed as follows: In the display OSD menus, open the Settings menu and switch DPMS on. For more information, please consult the display operation chapter. In Windows, open the Display control panel. Open the Screen Saver tab.
