FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)A: Technically speaking, LCDs do flicker, but the cause of the phenomenon is different fromthat of a CRT monitor -- and it has no impact of the ease of viewing. Flickering in an LCDmonitor relates to usually undetectable luminance caused by the difference betweenpositive and negative voltage. On the other hand, CRT flickering that can irritate the humaneye occurs when the on/off action of the fluorescent object becomes visible. Since thereaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD panel is much slower, this troublesome form offlickering is not present in an LCD display.Q: Why is an LCD monitor virtually free of Electro Magnetic Interference?A: Unlike a CRT, an LCD monitor does not have key parts that generate Electro MagneticInterference, especially magnetic fields. Also, since an LCD display utilizes relatively lowpower, its power supply is extremely quiet.RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGEErgonomics, Ecology and Safety StandardsQ: What is the CE mark?A: The CE (Conformité Européenne) mark is required to be displayed on all regulatedproducts offered for sale on the European market.
