WATERMARK AND IMAGE RETENTION
Spectrum is designed with IPS (In-Plane Switching) display technology which provides ultrawide
viewing angles and advanced image quality. IPS monitors are suitable for a wide variety of
advanced image quality applications. This panel technology, however, is not suitable for
applications that exhibit static, stationary, or fixed images for long periods of time without the
use of screen savers.
These types of applications may include camera surveillance, marketing logos, and templates
that are displayed on the screen for a prolonged period. Displaying the same static image or
image elements on the screen for multiple consecutive hours may cause image retention
damage that could look like stains or watermarks on the monitor's screen.
Image retention (also called ‘burn-in’) is a condition that may occur on all LCD screens and is not
covered under warranty. To avoid image retention damage, either turn off the monitor when it is
not in use or use the power management setting, if supported on your system, to turn off the
monitor when the system is idle.
