About the Product
● This TFT-LCD monitor is made by precision technology. It is common to have
black spots (lack of pixels) or luminous spots on the panel. Such condition is not
a product defect or failure.
● About interfering stripes on the screen (moire pattern)
If the screen shows parallel adjoining streaks or latticed pattern in 2~3 colors, it is
called the moire pattern. It is the result of interference between luminous colors,
not a defect. When interfering stripes appear, adjust the image according to the
instructions in “When the screen shows interfering stripes/noise” to obtain
optimum image quality. 【P21】
● The recommended resolution of this product is 1280×768 pixels. Some graphic
cards do not support 1280×768 pixels. In such case, set the resolution at
1024x768 pixels, press the “Full Screen” button on remote to adjust to normal
display.
● If the LCD stands still for a long duration, there might be “residual image”
phenomenon even when other images are displayed.
To avoid this problem, use the screensaver in the operating system.
If residual image phenomenon has occurred, keeping the screen in white for a
long time might correct it.
● About the “smoothing” function
In situation where Full Screen display is set, the image
will be magnified when the resolution is less than 1280
×768 pixels. At this time, the product will automatically
fill the voids with neutral colors (smoothing) to allow
the display of smooth characters and graphics. As a
result, the characters or graphics might look spread out
or feathered. It is not a defect.

Also, if the black characters against white background
look blurred, adjust the contrast.【P14 , P15】

● Power saving
To cut down power consumption, the power saving function will kick in
automatically if the computer is not in use for a period of time.
Once the product is in power saving state, the power LED will change to orange
color, the image will disappear and there is no sound output. Under the standby
mode, power consumed will be reduced to less than 3W.
To reactivate the screen, move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard.
※ Power saving mode is enabled only when it is set in the PC with built-in
DMPS(VESA) function.

● About digital connection
Digital connection to some computers, such as Macintosh may result in abnormal
display image. In such event, use analog connection.
● About images in TV/VCR mode
Some green noises might appear under the following circumstances. This is not
an image quality problem.
．When TV channel does not have image playing.
．When the VCR tape is being forwarded or rewound.
Note: Viewing the screen in dark environment or for a long period of time might
cause eye fatigue. We suggest viewing the screen in properly bright
environment and let your eyes rest from time to time.

About the「sRGB」option under color temperature
sRGB is a mode to reproduce the standard color specifications in different
computers or monitors.
The color displayed in the PC monitor is relative color. When monitor is
changed, the image color changes as well. For example, the
“yellow-green” might look like “yellow”, “light blue” or “green” due to the
settings of the monitor. To address this problem, this LCD has built-in
sRGB mode to display the color close to that of the actual image.
