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 38
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.

Enable Dithering This option allows the user to enable or disable dithering. Dithering is a technique for increasing the perceived range of colors in an image at the cost of spatial resolution.
The user will be prompted to select a firmware update file to use for the update process. This file will be provided by Barco Medical Imaging if and when a firmware update is required.
Operation Operation Operating precautions Continuous operation of the display with the same screen may result in some image sticking on the LCD panel. Over 10 hours operation with the same image content is not recommended. Switching on the display DPMS may decrease the risk of image sticking (image retention).
