screen saver program when you leave your 
monitor unattended. Always activate a 
periodic screen refresh application if your 
monitor will display unchanging static 
content. Uninterrupted display of still or

cause “burn in”, also known as “after-imaging” 
or “ghost imaging”,  on your screen. 
"Burn-in", "after-imaging", or "ghost imaging" is a 
well-known phenomenon in Monitor panel 
technology. In most cases, the “burned 
in” or “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging” will 
disappear gradually over a period of time

Warning
Severe” burn-in” or “after-image” or “ghost image” 
symptoms will not disappear and cannot be 
repaired. The damage mentioned above is not 
covered under your warranty.
