Important Precautions

Please read these safety precautions carefully before using the product. All precautions and safety information applies to LCD models.

Failure to follow those warnings may result in death, serious injury or damage to the product or other property.

Precautions to the AC Adapter and Electrical Power

• If water or any foreign substance goes inside the product (Monitor, power cord, or AC adapter), disconnect the power cord immediately and contact the service center. Otherwise, this may cause a fire or electric shock due to damage to the product.
• Do not touch the power plug or AC adapter with wet hands. If the pins of the plug are wet or dusty, wipe and dry them before use. Otherwise, this may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Make sure to completely insert the power cord into the AC adapter. If loosely connected, the poor connection may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Be sure to use power cords and AC adapters provided or approved by LG Electronics, Inc. The use of non-approved products may cause a fire or electric shock.
• When unplugging the power cord, always pull it by the plug. Do not bend the power cord with excessive force. The power line can be damaged, which may cause electric shock or fire.
• Be careful not to step or place heavy objects (electronic appliances, clothing, etc.) on the power cord or AC adapter. Be careful not to damage the power cord or AC adapter with sharp objects. Damaged power cords may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Never disassemble, repair or modify the power cord or AC adapter. This may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Use only the power cord supplied with the unit or another manufacturer's authorized cord. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock or damage to the product.
• Use only a properly grounded plug and receptacle. If you do not, you may be electrocuted or injured. Or the product might be damaged.
• Do not use a damaged or loose plug. This may cause electrical shock or fire.
• Operate the display only from a power source (i.e. voltage) indicated in the product specification. Otherwise, the product can be damaged, fire can occur, or you may be electrocuted. If you are not sure what type of power supply you have, consult a certified electrician.
• In the presence of thunder and lightning, never touch the power cord and signal cable because it can be very dangerous. It can cause electric shock.
• Do not connect several extension cords, electrical appliances or electrical heaters to a single outlet. Use a power bar with a grounding terminal designed for exclusive use with the computer. A fire can break out due to overheating.
• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Additionally, if the cord pin is wet or covered with dust, dry the power plug completely or wipe dust off before plugging in the cord. You may be electrocuted due to excess moisture.
• If you don't intend to use the product for a long time, unplug the power cable from the product. Covering dust can cause a fire, or insulation deterioration can cause electric leakage, electric shock or fire.
• Insert the power plug firm so it cannot come loose. A loose connection can cause fire.
• Do not insert metal or other conductive materials into the product openings. Additionally, do not touch the power cable right after plugging into the wall input terminal. You may be electrocuted.
• The AC Plug is the disconnecting device. It should be easily accessible in case of emergency.

Screen display is unstable and shaky. / Images displayed on the monitor leave shadow trails.

• Did you select the appropriate resolution? If the selected resolution is HDMI 1080i 60/50 Hz (interlaced), the screen may be flickering. Change the resolution to 1080p or the recommended resolution.
• Not setting the graphics card to the recommended (optimal) resolution may result in blurred text, a dimmed screen, a truncated display area or misalignment of the display.
• The setting methods may be different depending upon the computer or operating system, and some resolutions may not be available depending upon the performance of the graphics card. If this is the case, contact the manufacturer of the computer or graphics card for assistance.

The screen retains an image.

• Does image sticking occur even when the monitor is turned off? Displaying a still image for a prolonged time may cause damage to the screen, resulting in the retention of the image. To extend the lifetime of the monitor, use a screensaver.
• Are there spots on the screen? When using the monitor, pixilated spots (red, green, blue, white, or black) may appear on the screen. This is normal for an LCD screen. It is not an error, nor is it related to the monitor's performance.
