About the LCD monitor
Due to the characteristics of liquid crystals, the brightness of
the LCD monitor may appear uneven with changes in
temperature, etc.
The LCD monitor has been developed using high-precision
engineering and is superior in sharpness and picture quality.
Due to the nature of liquid crystals, however, there may be
missing or constantly lit pixels on the monitor. This is not a
malfunction of the unit.

care to prevent personal injury from broken glass, etc.
Furthermore, take care that liquid crystals do not touch the
