Notes:
Each DTF-521/PL-521 LCD panel is produced under very stringent quality standards.
Production techniques cannot guarantee an absolutely perfect TFT display, and some panels
may exhibit a certain number of pixels that show an incorrect color. Refer to the specifications
on page 43 for more information.
If an image has fine striping (such as screen stripes), it may appear to flicker or display a moiré
pattern.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the display surface, it may cause the appearance of a moiré or
pooling pattern. If you notice this action, use less pressure on the display screen when working
with the pen.
When a still image is displayed for a long period of time, an after-image may remain for a short time.
To prevent this, Wacom recommends using a screen saver or other power management feature.
