Important Precautions
On Installation
Do not allow anything to rest upon or roll over the power cord, and do not place the
display where the power cord is subject to damage.
Do not use this display near water such as near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
Displays are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow the release of
heat generated during operation. If these openings are blocked, built-up heat can
cause failures which may result in a fire hazard. Therefore, NEVER:
Block the bottom ventilation slots by placing the display on a bed, sofa, rug, etc.
Place the display in a built-in enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
Cover the openings with cloth or other material.
Place the display near or over a radiator or heat source.

a location where it is easy to operate.
Do not rub or strike the Active Matrix LCD with anything hard as this may scratch,
mar, or damage the Active Matrix LCD permanently.
Do not press the LCD screen with your finger for a long time as this may cause
some afterimages.

Important
Check Control Panel --> Display --> Settings and see if the frequency or the
resolution were changed. If yes, readjust the video card to the recommend
resolution.
Reasons for Recommending Optimal Resolution : The aspect ratio is 16:10.
If the input resolution is not 16:10 (for instance, 16:9, 5:4, 4:3), you might
encounter problems such as blurred letters, blurry screen, cut-off screen display or
tilted screen.
The setting method can differ by computer and O/S (Operation System),
and resolution mentioned above may not be supported by the video card
performance. In this case, please ask to the computer or the video card
manufacturer
.
When HDMI interleaved signal (1920 x 1080i) input, static picture will be shaking,
however moveable picture is not. So the recommend resolution is 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz.
