Characteristics of LCD Panel
• After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the
image will remain temporarily. This is an effect
peculiar to LCD technology and is normal.
• Under cold temperature conditions, the screen
may lose contrast temporarily. After a short warm-
up period, it will return to normal.
• The LCD panel is manufactured using an extremely
high precision manufacturing technology. Its effec-
tive pixel ratio is over 99.99%. This means that
0.01% of the pixels could be either always ON or
OFF.
Using Headphones
If ACC or the monitor's power source is turned off, a
loud noise may be produced through the headphone
jack. Be sure to remove the headphones from your
ears before you turn the monitor off.
