This is because of the type of computer being used. In this case, adjust the picture position to its correct position. (See the section, "Operating the Monitor" .) · The screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off the power switch and then turn it on again; the flickering should disappear. · Users may notice some uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern they use. It is normal for LCD monitors to show such uneven brightness. · Due to the nature of LCD screens, switching to a new image following prolonged use of the same image may render the screen unable to display the new image. In this case, the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or by turning off the power switch for hours. · If the screen becomes dark, flickers, or does not light up, contact your dealer or the nearest service center for a backlight replacement. Do not attempt to replace it yourself. · If you need to return your unit for service and the original packaging was discarded, please contact your dealer or the nearest service center for advice or replacement of packaging. 17
