Panel refresh

A panel refresh will adjust the panel uniformity. Panel refresh can be performed and should only be used when image retention is very noticeable.

• The Panel refresh function may affect the panel.
• Do not perform Panel refresh more than once a year, as it may affect the usable life of the panel.
• The effectiveness of a panel refresh may vary depending on the image retention condition.
• Panel refresh takes up to 10 minutes to complete.
• The following also applies to some models, as indicated before executing a Panel refresh.
• A white, red, green, or blue line may be displayed on the screen during the Panel refresh; this is not a malfunction of the monitor. Panel refresh will only work when the room temperature is between 10 ºC and 40 ºC.
• Pixel shift: Automatically moves the image on the screen to prevent image retention.
