Enabling the Display Power Management System (DPMS) of your 
display (in the display’s Settings menu) 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”. 

Barco recommends setting DPMS activation after 20 minutes of 
non-usage. 

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. 

Barco recommends setting screen saver activation after 5 minutes of 
non-usage. A good screen saver displays moving content. 

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. 

LCD displays use technology based on pixels. As a normal tolerance in 
the manufacturing of the LCD, a limited number of these pixels may 
remain either dark or permanently lit, without affecting the diagnostic
