Tips and safety precautions - The TFT color LCD panel used in this monitor is made with the application of high precision technology. However, there may be minute points on the screen where pixels never light or are permanently lit. Also, if the screen is viewed from an acute angle there may be uneven colors or brightness. Please note that these are not malfunctions but common phenomena of LCDs and will not affect the performance of the monitor. - Do not display a still picture for a long period, as this could cause a residual image. - If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum setting it may be difficult to see the screen. - The quality of the computer signal may influence the quality of the display. We recommend using a computer able to emit high quality video signals. - Never rub or tap the monitor with hard objects. - Please understand that Sharp Corporation bears no responsibility for errors made during use by the customer or a third party, nor for any other malfunctions or damage to this product arising during use, except where indemnity liability is recognized under law. - This monitor and its accessories may be upgraded without advance notice. Location - Do not use the monitor where ventilation is poor, where there is a lot of dust, where humidity is high, or where the monitor may come into contact with oil or steam, as this could lead to fire. - Ensure that the monitor does not come into contact with water or other fluids.
