• Clean the screen properly: Wipe the LCD surface with ammonia‑free cleaning wipes or a soft microfiber cloth using non‑abrasive, antistatic agents to avoid scratches or streaks. Avoid paper towels.

• Dust safely: Use a soft, damp cloth or chamois to remove dust from the faceplate and body; abrasive or dry cloths can cause static and attract more dust.

• Ensure ventilation: Maintain good airflow around the monitor (especially in rack setups) to prevent heat buildup that can shorten component life.

• Secure cable connections: Regularly check and tighten power, composite/component, and modular input cables for stable video and signal performance.

• Avoid excess pressure: Never press hard on the LCD panel when cleaning or handling to protect internal display layers.

• Use surge protection: Protect the monitor from power spikes with a surge protector or UPS unit.

• Handle modules carefully: If swapping modular input cards, always power off before insertion/removal to avoid damage.
