of the screen is at or slightly below your eye-height when you are
comfortably seated.
• Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing.
• Take regular and frequent breaks (at least for 10 minutes) every half-
hour.
• Be sure to periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus
on a far object for at least 20 seconds during the breaks.
• Eye exercise can help reduce eye strain. Repeat these exercises
frequently: (1) look up and down (2) slowly roll your eye (3) move your
eyes diagonally.

General Description
M27U is a color active matrix liquid crystal display with a Light Emitting
Diode (LED) backlight assembly without LED driver. The matrix employs
a-Si thin film transistor as the active element. It is a transmissive type
display operating in the normally black mode. It has a 27 inch diagonally
measured active display area with UHD resolution(3840 horizontal by
2160 vertical pixel array) Each pixel is divided into red, green and blue
sub-pixels or dots which are arranged in vertical stripes. Gray scale or the
brightness of the sub-pixel color is determined with a 8bit+ FRC gray scale
signal for each dot, thus, presenting a palette of more than 1.07 Billion
colors. It has been designed to apply eDP (HBR2, 5.4Gbps) interface. It is
intended to support displays where high brightness, super wide viewing
angle, high color saturation, and high color are important.
