Optimum Picture Quality and Afterimage Burn-in Prevention

Optimum Picture Quality

To enjoy the optimum picture quality, go to Control Panel on your PC and adjust the resolution and

refresh rate as follows. The picture quality of TFT-LCDs may degrade if the optimum resolution is not

selected.

Resolution: 1920 X 1080

Vertical frequency (refresh rate): 60Hz

Due to the nature of the manufacturing of this product, approximately 1 pixel per million (1ppm) may

be brighter or darker on the LCD panel. This does not affect product performance.

The number of sub-pixels by LCD panel type: 40 : 6,220,800

Run "

Auto Adjustment

" to improve the picture quality. If noise is still found even after auto

adjustment, adjust

Coarse

Fine

Leaving the screen fixed on a stationary image for an extended period of time may cause afterimage

burn-in or defective pixels.

Activate power-saving mode or a dynamic screen saver if you will not be using the monitor for

an extended period of time.

Unlike CDT monitors, TFT-LCD monitors (due to the nature of the panel) can be set to only one

resolution to obtain the optimum picture quality. Therefore, setting a resolution other than the

specified resolution may degrade the picture quality. To avoid this, it is recommended that you select

the optimum resolution specified for your monitor.
