ections are made.

but make sure that air can circulate freely through 
the ventilation slots.

(some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). 
Unplug the TV monitor before cleaning the screen. 
When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with 
absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks.

IMPORTANT: Always activate a moving screen saver 
program when you leave your monitor unattended. Always
activate a periodic screen refresh application if your LCD
monitor will display unchanging static content. Uninterru-
pted display of still or static images over an extended 
period may cause “burn in”, also known as “after-imaging” 
or “ghost imaging”, on your screen. "Burn-in", "after-ima-
ging", or "ghost imaging" is a well-known phenomenon in 
LCD panel technology. In most cases, the “burned in” or 
“after-imaging” or “ghost imaging” will disappear gradually 
over a period of time after the power has been switched 
off.
WARNING: Severe“ burn-in” or “after-image” or “ghost 
image” symptoms will not disappear and cannot be repair-
ed. The damage mentioned above is not covered under 
your warranty.
And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical
treatment.
