Recommended Use & Maintenance
nRecommended Use
Ergonomics
CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER, AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:
· For optimum performance of the monitor, allow 20 minutes for warming up. Do not display a still picture for a long period, as this could cause a residual image.
· Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
· Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm (15.75 inches) and no further away than 70 cm (27.56 inches) from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm (19.69 inches).
· Rest your eyes periodically for 5 to 10 minutes for every 1 hour by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away.
· Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.
· If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.
· Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.
· Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
· Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are typing.
· Blink often. Eye exercise helps to reduce eye strain. Please contact your ophthalmologist. Get regular eye checkups.
· To avoid eye fatigue, adjust the brightness to a moderate setting. Place a sheet of white paper next to the LCD screen for luminance reference.
· Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.
· Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.
· Use the preset Color Setting.
· Use non-interlaced signals.
· Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast.

Depending on the computer, you may need to manually set the computer’s audio to output through the DisplayPort or HDMI connection. Please refer to the computer’s user manual. The type of video connections that can be used to connect to a computer depends on the computer’s display adapter.
For HDCP Content
HDCP is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a digital signal. If you are unable to view material via the digital inputs, this does not necessarily mean that the monitor is not functioning properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected by HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/ intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC). HDCP video content is generally commercially produced Blu-rays and DVDs, television broadcast, and streaming media services.
nConnecting to a Computer with HDMI
· Please use a HighSpeed HDMI cable with the HDMI logo. · It may take a moment for the signal to appear after turning on the computer. · Some display cards or drivers may not display an image correctly. · If the monitor’s power is turned on after a connected computer is turned on, sometimes an image is not displayed. In this
case, please turn off the computer then turn it on again.
nConnecting to a Computer with DisplayPort
· Please use a certified DisplayPort cable. · It may take a moment for the signal to appear after turning on the computer. · When connecting a DisplayPort cable to a component with a signal conversion adapter, an image may not appear. · Some DisplayPort cables feature a locking function. When removing this cable, hold down the top button to release the lock. · If the monitor’s power is turned on after a connected computer is turned on, sometimes an image is not displayed. In this

Troubleshooting
nScreen Image and Video Signal Issues
No picture · Make sure the signal cable is fully connected to the monitor and the computer. · Make sure the computer’s display card is fully seated in its slot. · Make sure there is no DisplayPort converter adapter connected. The monitor does not support DisplayPort converter
adapter. · Make sure both the computer and monitor are powered on. · The monitor may be in power saving mode. The monitor automatically goes into standby at the preset time period after the
video signal is lost. · Make sure that a supported resolution has been selected on the display card or system being used. If in doubt, please refer
to the OPERATION MANUAL of the display controller or system to change the resolution. · Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings. · Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins. · Make sure the connected device outputs a signal to the monitor.
Image Persistence · Do not display a still picture for a long period, as this could cause a residual image (see page 10).
Selected resolution is not displayed properly · If the resolution you set is over or under a range, “OUT OF RANGE” window will appear then warn you. Please set
supported resolution at the connected computer.
The image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent · Make sure the signal cable is fully connected to the monitor and the computer. · Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings.
Picture is not bright · If the brightness fluctuates, make sure [DV MODE] is set to [Off]. · Make sure [ECO MODE] is turned off. · Make sure the signal cable is fully connected to the monitor and the computer. · LCD brightness degradation occurs due to long-term usage or extreme cold conditions.
Brightness variations over time · Change [DV MODE] to [Off] and then adjust the [Brightness]. Please refer to “OSD Warning” on page 24. T IP: When [DV MODE] is set to [On], the monitor automatically adjusts brightness based on the video signal.
English-25
nHardware Issues
POWER Key does not respond · Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor. LED on monitor is not lit (no blue or amber color can be seen) · Make sure the power cord is properly connected to the monitor and the wall, and make sure the monitor’s power switch is
on. No Video · If no video is present on the screen, turn the POWER key off and on again. · Make sure the computer is not in a power-saving mode by touching the connected keyboard or the connected mouse. · When using DisplayPort, some display cards do not output video signal under low resolution modes when the monitor is
turned OFF/ON or disconnected/connected from the AC power cord. No Sound · Check to see if [Audio Mute] is activated. · Check to see if [Audio Volume] is set to a minimum. · Check to see if the computer supports an audio signal through DisplayPort or HDMI. · Check to see if the headphones cable is properly connected when using headphones. · Check to see if headphones are not connected if not using headphones. · Check the input signal. It outputs the audio signal associated with the input signal. When the input signal is DisplayPort or
HDMI, this monitor cannot output Analog audio signal.

*1: Brightness and contrast ratio will depend on input mode and other picture settings. Brightness level will decrease over time. Due to the nature of the equipment, it is not possible to precisely maintain a constant level of brightness.
*2: Excluding protrusions. *3: Even though the LCD panel of this product is manufactured with high precision, there may be ineffective pixels such as ones which never lights up or always lighting up. “Ratio
of effective pixel” means the ratio of the number of effective pixel (subtracting the number of ineffective pixels from the whole number of pixels) against the whole number of pixels on the LCD panel. Please note that presence of ineffective pixels does not mean failure of LCD panel. *4: Including when the monitor is installed on a flexible arm. *5: Factory setting. *6: When no signal inputs. Time for power management function: Less than 1 min.
