How to view the monitor

Note on image retention

The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images.

Please refer to the user manual for this model for instruction on how to use these features.

How to clean the plasma screen panel of the monitor

Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
