They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Adding a few words is even better.

If you have a ViewSonic, you may have received this warning card. If so - did you notice what you were being warned about?

O_o

I'm still confused as to what those pictures actually actually mean.


Why does blue text appear every time you are near?

The last one is the screen rapidly flipping up and clonking someone on the head, number two is pulling a screw out and it firing into someone's face, and the third one is pulling a screw out and it firing into someone's stomach.

I guess?

I think it is actually actually a warning about potential dangers when disassembling the monitor from the stand. The stand may have some form of spring-assist mechanism to help keep the monitor upright. But that spring can launch, shoot, or flip the monitor during seperation.

However, this is a clear case when a picture isn't worth a thousand words. Or at least not the correct thousand words.

Yes, RiiDii is correct. Kinda like how your computer chair will shoot up if you aren't sitting on it and you hit the lever to raise it.

Good thing I never tried disassembling my Viewsonic monitor. mine didn't have those warnings and I surely would've hurt myself.
