Handling the Screen  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 may be "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.  Do not leave the screen facing the sun as it can damage the screen. Take care when you place the unit by a window.  Do not push or scratch the monitor's screen. Do not place a heavy object on the monitor's screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.  Make sure to use the unit without the panelguard plate during power distribution. Otherwise, panel failure may result due to temperature increase of the panel.  The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.
