8. Screen maintenance
Following the characteristics of QD
OLED displays, there are automatic
mechanisms used to protect the screen
and reduce image sticking which may
request an opportunity to run the refresh
process. These mechanism settings may
be adjusted in the On-Screen Display
(OSD) menu under QD OLED Panel Care.

Screen Saver
When a static image is detected for a
certain period of time, the screen saver
function will dim the screen to protect
the panel from sticking. When a moving
image is detected, the monitor will
recover luminance to previous working
status. Default setting is Slow and may
change as Fast to active Screen Saver
sooner. Would highly recommend that
you always turn on Screen Saver as Slow
or Fast to protect the screen. It is also
recommended that you also set your
device to use a screen saver.
•
Pixel Orbiting
Pixel shift moves the image a couple
of pixels at regular intervals to avoid
potential sticking. This is not noticeable
in normal circumstances. Default setting
is Slow and you can select Normal or
Fast to adjust the frequency of shifting.
Would highly recommend that you
always turn on Pixel Orbiting to protect
the screen.
Pixel Refresh:
After cumulative usage over 4 hours,
Pixel Refresh will be activated to
compensate the image sticking. When
it is activated, screen will be in standby
mode for 15 minutes to finish the whole
process.
There will be a 1
st
pop-up message after
4-hours and you can choose to proceed
the refresh process or skip it. If you
choose to skip it, there will be more
reminders after every 2 hours. After
cumulative usage of 16 hours, you will
not be able to skip it. If you cannot
execute Pixel Refresh upon receiving the
reminders, you can still go to OSD menu
at your feasible time to proceed the
process.
A reminder message that pops up after 4 hours
of continuous use, and will then appear every 2
hours after.
To maintain the panel quality, Pixel Refresh will automatically
run after in use for a periods of time.
Pixel Refresh will take few minutes and Power LED will blink until
