About Using a Monitor (Display)
DVD playback and certain video-related software may not function correctly when your monitor is set to a high
refresh rate. If your monitor does not play back video content properly, try setting the display to a lower refresh
rate.
Do not place the display near a strong magnetic force.
Do not block the ventilation slots on the display.
Using the computer in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on the screen. This is not a
malfunction. When the computer returns to normal temperature, the screen returns to normal.
A residual image may appear on the screen if the same image is displayed for a lengthy period of time. The image
disappears after a period of time. You can use a screen saver to prevent residual images.
The screen becomes warm during operation. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
