PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)

LCD Monitors and TVs may have an image retention when switching from one image to another
especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time.
This guide is to demonstrate a correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from
Image retention.
Warranty
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
What is Image retention ?
During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. However,
if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric charge
accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal. This may
cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus, the previous
image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display products, including
LCD,are subject to image retention. This is not a product defect.
Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention
Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode
Ex)
Turn the power off when using a stationary pattern.
- Turn the power off for 4 hours after 20 hours in use
- Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use
Use a Screen saver if possible
- Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.
Set the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.
z

Suggestions for specific applications

Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems
We recommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below:
Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle.
Ex) Cycle : Display Information for 1 hour followed by a
Display Logo or moving image for 1 minute.
Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors).
Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.

Avoid using a combination of characters and background color with large

difference in luminance.
Avoid using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.
Avoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)
Ex)

Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance

- Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes
Ex)

- Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.

Ex)

The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or
System to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it.
Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal conditions.
Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the LCD
panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there may be
slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal (LC) in a
pixel. The voltage difference between electrodes increases with time, forcing the liquid
crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seen when the pattern is
changed.
To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased.

Unified Communication

Auto Setup for the web camera, microphone and speaker

Connect your monitor and PC using a USB cable, as shown in the figure below.

The web camera, microphone and speaker will be set up automatically and appear on the status
bar.

If the camera is recognized as a USB1.1 device, the screen quality may be degraded and noise
may occur. Make sure to upgrade to USB 2.0.
Because of the characteristics of USB communication, the device is recognized whenever it is
turned off and on. When the recognition process is finished, you can use it normally.
If you remove the cable while your PC is recognizing a USB device, it may cause a serious error
to your PC.
Do not turn the camera too forcefully. This may cause a product malfunction
Make sure to remove the USB cable after clicking on the <Remove hardware safely> icon on the
taskbar of your PC and unloading the USB device from Windows.
Installation Precautions
1. Never disconnect the USB cable from the USB port while the auto installation is in
progress.
(The installation takes about a minute. If you remove the USB port during the installation, a
severe problem may occur with your PC.)
2. Do not turn off the monitor while the auto installation is in progress.
(If you turn off the monitor during the installation, a severe problem may occur with your
PC.)
3. The screen may blink when the auto installation is completed.
(This occurs when your PC recognizes your monitor as a USB device. This is not a fault.)
4. If the auto installation is completed, configure the position and resolution for the monitors
in the [Settings] tab of the [Display Properties] window.
(The optimal resolution of this UC monitor is 1680 x 1050.)
5. If you change the USB Port after your PC has recognized a USB device, it may cause a USB
device recognition error.
(You must remove and reinstall the driver.)

If the installation fails

If the installation is stopped because the New Hardware Wizard has failed, right-click My computer,
and click Properties - System Properties - the Hardware tab. Click on the Device Manager and
reinstall the driver by following these steps below.

The symbol showing that the device has failed to be installed is displayed as shown in
In this case, click Scan for hardware changes to run the Setup Wizard again.

UC Monitor Limitations
This monitor is a UC monitor and therefore when connecting cameras and audio devices to it,
cameras and audio devices except for the monitor display are recognized as USB devices and
not as a camera or audio device.
This monitor must be connected with a D-Sub (Analog) or a DVI-D cable (Digital) when used as a
normal monitor. USB cables are used when connecting other devices.
For some media players, when a USB device is being recognized again while a media player is
running, you have to close and run it again to operate the sound and camera devices normally.
For some PCs, your PC may not boot up with the monitor recognized even if the USB cable is
connected, depending on the PC BIOS version.
Check whether the BIOS on your PC has been updated to the latest version.
Because of the characteristics of USB audio devices, the initial volume setting of your UC monitor
may be very low. (This may differ depending on the operating system.) At this time, adjust the
Master Volume on your PC.

USB Monitor Limitations

This monitor supports Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later only.

Service Pack 1 or earlier is not supported.
This monitor is designed for optimal performance using Windows XP Service Pack 2 and USB
2.0.
The UC monitor may not work normally with versions earlier than USB 2.0.
If you connect multiple UC monitors, the USB devices recognized by these monitors may not
work normally.
Noise may occur from the MIC and speaker if this monitor is placed too near.

Terms
Dot Pitch
The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots. The closer the dots, the higher the
resolution. The distance between two dots of the same color is called the 'Dot Pitch'. Unit : mm

Vertical Frequency
The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create and display an image for the
user. The frequency of this repetition per second is called Vertical Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit :
Hz
Example : If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz.

Horizontal Frequency
The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen horizontally is called
Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal Frequency. Unit :
kHz

Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods

Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in order is called the NonInterlace method while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the Interlace method.
The Non-Interlace method is used for the majority of monitors to ensure a clear image. The Interlace
method is the same as that used in TVs.

Plug & Play

This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user by allowing the computer and the
monitor to exchange information automatically. This monitor follows the international standard VESA
DDC for the Plug & Play function.

Resolution

The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen image is called 'resolution'.
This number shows the accuracy of the display. High resolution is good for performing multiple tasks
as more image information can be shown on the screen.
Example : If the resolution is 1680 x 1050 , this means the screen is composed of 1680 horizontal
dots (horizontal resolution) and 1050 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

For Better Display

enjoy the best quality of picture. You can have an uneven quality of picture in the screen if the best
quality of picture is not provided in TFT-LCD.
Resolution : 1680 x 1050
Vertical frequency (refresh rate) : 60 Hz
