Image Persistence, also called Image Retention, is a condition that occurs when a previously displayed image leaves a
residual or “ghost” impression on the screen. This happens when a single still image is shown for an extended time or when
an image tremors or ashes at high speed. This is due to the technology of the LCD module and screen characteristics; it is
not a product failure. While a residual image may disappear over time depending on the product usage, there is no guarantee
Image Persistence will resolve itself. Please follow these guidelines to care for the product and reduce the chance of Image
Persistence occurring:
Do not display images with repeated tremors or ashing at high speeds.
Do not display a single still image for an extended period of time.
One of the methods to avoid Image Persistence is to frequently switch the displaying image using computer power management
or screen savers.
CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN
REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER, AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE
FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:
To realize the maximum ergonomics benets, we recommend the following:
• For optimum performance of the monitor, allow 20 minutes for warming up. Avoid
reproduction of still patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image
persistence (after image effects).
• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level.
Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
• Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm (15.75 inches) and no further away than
70 cm (27.56 inches) from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm (19.69 inches).
• Rest your eyes periodically for 5 to 10 minutes for every 1 hour by focusing on an object
at least 20 feet away.
• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare
and reections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reect on your screen.
• If reected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare lter.
• Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.
• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize
turning your head while you are typing.
• Blink often. Eye exercise helps to reduce eye strain. Please contact your ophthalmologist. Get regular eye checkups.
• To avoid eye fatigue, adjust the brightness to a moderate setting. Place a sheet of white paper next to the LCD screen for
luminance reference.
• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.
• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.
English−10
• Use the preset Color Setting.
• Use non-interlaced signals.
• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difcult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufcient
contrast.

To change the signal input, open the OSD menu by touching any of 5-direction-key. You can select the input signal at “Input
Select” under the “Extra”.
When selecting [Auto] input, the monitor selects the active signal input automatically.
HDCP is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a digital signal. If you are unable to view material via
the digital inputs, this does not necessarily mean that the monitor is not functioning properly. With the implementation of HDCP,
there may be cases in which certain content is protected by HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of
the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC). HDCP video content is generally commercially produced Blu-rays and
DVDs, television broadcast, and streaming media services.
The power management function is an energy saving feature that automatically reduces the power consumption of the monitor
when the keyboard or the mouse has not been used for a xed period.

• When using DisplayPort, some display cards do not output video signal under low resolution modes when the monitor is
turned OFF/ON or disconnected/connected from the AC power cord.
• Check to see if [Audio Mute] is activated.
• Check to see if [Audio Volume] is set to a minimum.
• Check to see if the computer supports an audio signal through DisplayPort or HDMI.
• Check the input signal. It outputs the audio signal associated with the input signal. When the input signal is DisplayPort or
HDMI, this monitor cannot output Analog audio signal.

The aim of recycling is to gain an environmental benet by means of re-use, upgrading, reconditioning or reclamation of
material. Dedicated recycling sites ensure that environmentally harmful components are properly handled and securely
disposed. To ensure the best recycling of our products, we offer 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.
All required information concerning the disposal of the product and country-specic information on recycling facilities can be
found on our following websites:
https://www.sharpnecdisplays.eu/p/hq/en/home.xhtml (in Europe),
https://www.sharp-nec-displays.com/jp/ (in Japan) or
