Monitor function where the screen goes black, then the monitor goes 
through the pixels and removes residual charge.  Prevents screen
burn-in. Takes about 5.5 minutes.

I had no idea the monitor would put me through this, or I'd probably
have bought something that didn't need it.  But hey, other than
that: great monitor. :)
