Image Persistence: Image persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the
screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but a still image being displayed for a long
period of time should be avoided.
To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image
was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends using a moving screen saver at regular
intervals whenever the screen is idle, or turn off the monitor when not in use.

Using the Auto Brightness function
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depending on the amount of ambient lighting within the
room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim accordingly.
The purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comfortable to the eye in a variety of lighting conditions.
SETUP
Use the following procedures to select the Brightness Range that the monitor will use when the Auto Brightness function is
activated.
1. Set the BRIGHTNESS level. This is the brightness level that the monitor will go up to when the ambient lighting level is
highest. Select this setting when the room is at its brightest.
Select ON in the AUTO BRIGHTNESS menu (Figure 1). Then use the front Keys to move the cursor up to the
BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level (Figure 2).
Figure 1 Figure 2
2. Set the DARK level. This is the level of brightness that the monitor will go down to when the ambient lighting level is low.
Make sure the room is at its darkest when setting this level.
Then use the front Keys to move the cursor up to the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level (Figure 3).
Figure 3
When the “Auto Brightness” function is enabled the Brightness level of the screen changes automatically according to the
lighting conditions of the room (Figure 4).

disposed. To ensure the best recycling of our products, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS offers a variety of recycling procedures
and gives advice on how to handle the product in an environmentally sensitive way, once it has reached the end of its life.
