precision technology and has effective  
pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or  
bright points or light (red, blue, or green)  
may appear constantly on the LCD screen.  
This is a structural property of the LCD  
panel and is not a malfunction.  
The LCD screen is made with high-precision  
technology. To achieve a high level of  
performance and picture quality, this TV’s  
backlight setting is set to maximize the  
brightness of the TV. However, uneven  
brightness may be observed when the LCD TV  
is viewed in a dark environment without an  
input source or a blank screen. This is a normal  
condition, not a malfunction of the TV. To  
improve this condition, change the Picture  
mode, Backlight setting, enable the Light  
Sensor, or turn on the Power management.  
Avoid exposing the LCD screen surface to  
direct sunlight. It is likely to damage the LCD  
panel.  
Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place  
objects on top of the TV. The image may be  
uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.  
If the TV is used in a cold place, a smear may  
occur in the picture or the picture may become  
dark. This does not indicate a failure. These  
phenomena improve as the temperature rises.  
When still pictures are displayed continuously,  
ghosting may occur. It should disappear after a  
short period of time.  
SERVICING  
Do not attempt to repair the TV  
yourself, since opening the cabinet  
may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Ask qualied service  
personnel to do the servicing for your TV.  
Replacement parts  
When replacement parts are required, be sure  
the service technician certies in writing that  
he/she has used replacement parts specied by  
the manufacturer that have the same  
characteristics  
as  
the  
original  
parts.  
Unauthorized substitutions may cause a fire,  
an electric shock or other hazards.  
Safety check  
Upon completion of repairs to the TV, ask the  
service technician to perform routine safety  
checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to  
determine that the TV is safe for operating, and

on the screen will cause damage.  
Do not make prolonged contact with rubber  
or plastic material.

z
z
Before attaching the wall mount plate to the back cover, ensure the product is  
working  
If your LCD TV is already set up for free-standing operation, you need to rst  
remove the stand before mounting the device to the wall.  
To attach the wall-mount bracket to LCD TV safely, please use the following guidelines:  
z Disconnect the power and any other cables that might hinder moving the LCD TV.  
z Set the LCD TV on a table or work surface, placing the screen face down on a  
towel or woolen blanket to protect the screen surface from damage while  
installing plate.  
z Through the matching screw holes in the bracket, there are 4 or 6 screws  
mounted on the backside of the LCD TV. Loosen all screws, and keep for future  
use.  
z Install the wall mount plate to the LCD TV using screws NO LONGER than 10mm,  
as longer screws found in universal (non-ViewSonic) wall mount kits may  
damage the power supply causing the unit to fail. N3290w, N4290p and N4790p  
wall-mount screw type is M6 x L10.  
z Mount the wall mount bracket to the wall ensuring use of proper screws to  
support the installation. Ensure there is at least 6cm of space surrounding any  
air-vents of your LCD TV to allow adequate cooling during operation.  
z Hang the LCD TV wall mount plate to the wall mount bracket, completing  
installation. Enjoy your ViewSonic LCD TV
