Sony BVM-HX310 Operating Instructions - Page 4

 Color bars or images that remain static for a long time  Character or message displays that indicate settings or the operating state  On-screen displays such as center markers or area markers  Images with a frame (including Multi-View displays) For details on the HDR (High Dynamic Range) display, see "On High Brightness Display" (page 4). To reduce the risk of burn-in  Turn off the character and marker displays Press the MENU button to turn off the character displays. To turn off the character or marker displays of the connected equipment, operate the connected equipment accordingly. For details, refer to the operation manual of the connected equipment.  Do not display static images that contain high brightness display, time codes, markers, or logos for extended periods. Consider applying a display method with low level signals of 100% or less.  Do not display the images with a frame for a long time. Also, consider removing the frame during the Multi-View display, or displaying the signal level of the frame area by about 50% of the display area.  Reduce the brightness Reduce the brightness as much as possible or reduce the input signal level when you do not use the display.  Turn off the power when not in use Turn off the power if the monitor is not to be used for a prolonged period of time. Screen saver This product has a built-in screen saver function to reduce burn-in. When "Screen Saver" is set to "On" in the "System Setting," the screen brightness will decrease if an almost still image is displayed for more than 30 minutes during the HDR display. On Image Smearing Due to an LCD's panel structure and characteristics of materials in its design, continuously displaying signals or/and image patterns may cause image smearing or/and flicker on the monitor. If such a problem occurs, perform monitor aging for a while with the video displayed on the monitor. On a Long Period of Use Due to an LCD's panel structure and characteristics of materials in its design, displaying static images for extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/ high humidity environments may cause image smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall brightness. In particular, continually displaying an image smaller than the monitor screen, such as displaying an image in a different aspect ratio or displaying an image with a frame, may expedite the above issues. Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high humidity environment such an airtight room, or around the outlet of an air conditioner. To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power whenever the unit is not in use. On High Brightness Display  Using the unit with the high brightness display for extended periods may cause eyestrain or reduction of eyesight. Be sure to take an occasional break when using.  Follow RECOMMENDATION ITU-R BT.1702 "Guidance for the reduction of photosensitive epileptic seizures caused by television" or other guidelines when using.  In the HDR display, the display surface may emit heat when high brightness images are output. Do not touch the surface.  When "2.4(HDR)," "S-Log3(HDR)," "S-Log2(HDR)," "SMPTE ST 2084(HDR)," "ITU-R BT.2100(HLG)," or "S-Log3(Live HDR)" is selected for "EOTF" in the "Input Setting" menu, images are displayed in HDR (High Dynamic Range). In this manual, this status is described as "HDR display."  The HDR display is a method to faithfully display the brightness of signals defined of 100% or more level without compressing the brightness parts. 4
