Display Best Practices

Image Retention
Image retention may occur when a static image continuously displays for extended periods of time. A user may see a faint remnant of the image even after a new image displays. To prevent image retention:
  • Set the display to turn off after a few minutes of idle time.
  • Rotate background images on a periodic basis.
  • Turn off the display when the device in not in use.
  • Use a screen saver with the following characteristics:
    • background color set to black
    • use a small moving image (approximately 2% of the display size).
    • move the image randomly across the screen
    • screen saver should be active as long as the static image is used.
