Image retention can occur when the monitor is left on while displaying the same image for an extended period of time, leaving a shadow of the image on the screen.
sRGB Support The monitor is designed to support sRGB for color management, which adapts to the color standards used in the image technology industry. To take advantage of the sRGB support, you will need to change the monitor’s color temperature to sRGB and install the sRGB color profile (ICM) file.
