This guide is to demonstrate correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from
Image retention.
Warranty

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. How-
ever, 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 de-
fect.
Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention.
