Usage Notes

Safety precautions
Do not use the monitor unless installed on a monitor
stand.
The monitor may fall over.
Attach a stand to the monitor, or install the monitor on a
rack using a mounting bracket.
If mounting the monitor on a wall or rack using a
mounting bracket, ensure that the monitor cannot fall.
Use and storage
Do not subject the unit to severe shocks
The internal mechanism may be damaged or the body
warped.
Do not cover the unit while operating
Doing so will cause temperatures to rise inside the unit,
possibly resulting in failure.
After use
Turn off the on/standby switch.
If you plan not to use the unit for a long time, turn off the
POWER switch on the rear panel as well.
Shipping
If sending the unit by truck, ship, air or other
transportation service, pack it in the shipping carton of
the unit.
Care of the unit
If the body of the unit is dirty, clean it with a soft, dry
cloth.
In extreme cases, use a cloth steeped in a little neutral
detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use organic solvents
such as alcohol or thinners, as these may cause
discoloration or other damage to the finish of the unit.
In the event of operating problems
If you should experience problems with the unit, contact
your Sony dealer.
Note on faulty pixels on the LCD panel
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with
high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel
ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of
pixels maybe "stuck", either always off (black), always
on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a
long period of use, because of the physical
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such "stuck"
pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are
not a malfunction.

Usage Notes
Note on LCD burn-in
LCD (liquid crystal display) panels are susceptible to
burn-in.
When a non-moving image is displayed in the same
position for prolonged periods or at constant intervals,
the image may be permanently burned into the screen.
Images that commonly burn in after prolonged
display
• Split-screen displays that include frames
• Color bars and other prolonged still image displays
• Setting and operation status display text and messages
To minimize burn-in
• Enable the ISM function.
For details on the ISM function, see "ISM (Image
Sticking Minimization)" of the "Setting Menu"
(page 15).
• Disable text displays.
Text displays from a connected device must be
disabled from that device.
For details, refer to the operating instructions of the
connected device.
• Turn off the monitor when not in use.
When the monitor is not used for prolonged periods,
turn it off.
• Do not display non-moving images or graphics in the
same position for prolonged periods or at constant
intervals (including split-screen display frames).
Due to the physical characteristics of LCD panels,
image persistence and burn-in, blemishes, lines, and
drops in brightness may occur. In addition, prolonged
display of aspect ratios smaller than the display panel
can quicken deterioration of the panel.
• Do not use the monitor for prolonged periods in high-
temperature, high-humidity environments (e.g.,
poorly ventilated areas or near air-conditioner vents).
Due to the physical characteristics of LCD panels,
image persistence and burn-in, blemishes, lines, and
drops in brightness may occur.
• Lower the brightness during use.
Note on LCD panels
The LCD panel is manufactured using high-precision
technology. However, a small portion of the pixels may
be "dead" or "stuck." In addition, depending on the
angle at which the panel is viewed, distortions in color
and brightness may be noticeable. These occurrences
are due to the physical characteristics of LCD panels and
are not malfunctions. Sony will not provide replacement
or refunds.
