Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constantimages 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 wasdisplayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual imageremains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.As with all personal display devices, NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display recommends displayingmoving images and using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle orturning off the monitor when not in use.Recommended UseCAUTIONLCD17PISAManual080604.p65 8/6/04, 5:15 PM12
