Recommendations for using your display system

1. Optimize the lifetime of your display

Enabling the Display Power Management System (DPMS) of your display (in the display’s Settings menu) will optimize its diagnostic lifetime by automatically switching off the backlight when the display is not used for a specified period of time. By default, DPMS is enabled on your display, but it also needs to be activated on your workstation. To do this, go to “Power Options Properties” in the “Control Panel”.

Barco recommends setting DPMS activation after 20 minutes of non-usage.

2. Use a screen saver to avoid image retention

Prolonged operation of an LCD with the same content on the same screen area may result in a form of image retention.

You can avoid or significantly reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon by using a screen saver. You can activate a screen saver in the “Display properties” window of your workstation.

Barco recommends setting screen saver activation after 5 minutes of non-usage. A good screen saver displays moving content.

In case you are working with the same image or an application with static image elements for several hours continuously (so that the screen saver is not activated), change the image content regularly to avoid image retention of the static elements.

3. Understand pixel technology

LCD displays use technology based on pixels. As a normal tolerance in the manufacturing of the LCD, a limited number of these pixels may remain either dark or permanently lit, without affecting the
