1. OLED Panel Maintenance Modes

The OLED Panel Maintenance menu prevents the screen from image retention by offering these functions:

• Pixel Refresh: To reduce temporary image retention on the screen, you can manually activate this function after using the monitor for a long period of time. Alternatively, the function will activate automatically when you have used the monitor for 4 hours. The process takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.

  Note: The power LED indicator flashes green during the refresh process.

• Panel Refresh: To prevent permanent image retention caused by static content when you use the monitor for a long period of time, you can manually activate this function to refresh the pixels. Alternatively, the function will activate automatically when the accumulated usage time exceeds the factory default setting (Aproximately 2000 Hours). The process takes approximately an hour to complete.

  Note: The power LED indicator flashes green and then turns to blinking red during the refresh process.
