DISPLAY
Enabling the Display Power Management System (DPMS) of your display 
will optimize its diagnostic lifetime by automatically switching off the 
backlight when the display is not used for a specified period of time. By 
default, DPMS is enabled on your display, but it also needs to be 
activated on your workstation. To do this, go to “Power Options 
Properties” in the “Control Panel”.

RETENTION
Prolonged operation of an LCD with the same content on the same 
screen area may result in a form of image retention.
You can avoid or significantly reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon 
by using a screen saver. You can activate a screen saver in the “Display 
properties” window of your workstation.
In case you are working with the same image or an application with 
static image elements for several hours continuously (so that the screen 
saver is not activated), change the image content regularly to avoid 
image retention of the static elements.

the manufacturing of the LCD, a limited number of these pixels may 
remain either dark or permanently lit, without affecting the diagnostic 
Barco recommends setting DPMS activation after 20 minutes of 
non-usage.
Barco recommends setting screen saver activation after 5 
minutes of non-usage. A good screen saver displays moving 
content.
