User Note: Backgrounds

  • Your IE268E head unit utilises a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel to display clear, crisp images in a variety of lighting conditions.

  • Your IE268E unit is optimised to provide the highest quality image in a variety of use cases, but you should be aware that specific contrast ratios and backgrounds can cause temporary image retention.

  • When customising your background, avoid images that include high contrast static patterns; these images can cause temporary image retention in LCD panels through repeated use.

  • Retained images should vanish within 10-40 minutes of regular operation. If you see from your custom background, we strongly suggest you choose another option, or use one of the included IE268E background options
