Introduction to the NEC MultiSync LCD200
Congratulations on your purchase of the NEC MultiSync LCD200 true color monitor!
True Color Monitor
The MultiSync LCD200 monitor incorporates NEC’s own l2.1" true color active matrix thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display to provide superior display performance and a reduced footprint. Less than 18 cm in depth, the MultiSync LCD200 monitor is ideal for environments with space and weight constraints that require superior image quality. A high resolution of 1024 x768 and a fine dot pitch of 0.24mm are ideal for displaying complex graphics and high definition images. The MultiSync LCD200 monitor also supports 800 x 600 and VGA graphics and text modes. Other examples of features that enhance the MultiSync LCD200 monitor’s performance are Microsoft’s Plug and Play compatibility, NEC’s ErgoDesign features and OSM (On Screen Manager) controls. This LCD monitor also carries the MultiSync brand name, ensuring greater compatibility with today’s sophisticated computer platforms.
Analog Advantage
Because NEC incorporates only its own patented analog LCD modules into its MultiSync LCD monitors, the MultiSync LCD200 monitor is capable of displaying over 16.7 million colors in a continuous spectrum, providing a truer representation of color. Like its analog predecessors based on CRT technology, the MultiSync LCD200 monitor displays a continuous gray scale and does not require the use of dithering techniques, a mainstay of digital LCD panels, to approximate intermediate shades of gray. In addition, the monitor’s high contrast LCD enhances color vibrancy and improves focus with no geometric distortion.

Introduction to the NEC MultiSync LCD200 |
Wider Compatibility
Adapting the latest advances in satellite technology to the circuitry employed within the MultiSync LCD200 monitor, NEC provides wide range compatibility with today’s graphics driver technology. Because the MultiSync LCD200 monitor is analog through and through, it does not require special analog to digital display or interface cards but can accept RGB input directly. Consequently, the same display cards that are used to drive the Multisync LCD200 monitor can also be used to drive standard CRT monitors. NEC’s MultiSync LCD 200 monitor can be used with a wide range of systems such as IBM PC compatible computers, Macintosh and Power Macintosh.
FullScan Capability
Using NEC’s own FullScan Capability, all of the resolutions supported on the MultiSync LCD200 monitor are displayed full screen, utilizing the most of the monitor’s large display area. Rather than displaying 640x480 resolution as a small box in the center of the MultiSync LCD200 monitor’s display, this VGA resolution is displayed full screen, allowing for greater visibility.
Reduced Footprint
The MultiSync LCD200 monitor offers nearly the same viewable image size as conventional 14-inch and 15-inch CRTs at 40% of the depth and 30% of the weight. With a depth of about 17 cm and a weight of 4 kg, the reduced footprint of NEC’s MultiSync LCD monitor provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image quality but with size and weight limitations. And the monitor’s small footprint and low weight allow it to be moved or transported easily from one location to another.
Low Power Consumption
The MultiSync LCD200 monitor has been designed with NEC’s IPM
(Intelligent Power Manager) System. When utilized with an Energy Star system or display card, the MultiSync LCD200’s IPM System is an innovative power-saving utilily that complies with both the EPA’s Energy Star requirements and Europe’s NUTEK power management

requirements. With a maximum power consumption of 33 watts, the MultiSync LCD200 monitor consumes over 50% less power than conventional CRTs and emits less heat. In its power-saving mode, the MultiSync LCD200 monitor consumes less than 6 watts. All this translates into energy savings, environmental protection, reduced emissions and reduced air conditioning costs of the work environment.
The MultiSync LCD200 monitor follows the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) approved power-down signaling method. Endorsed by the EPA, VESA’s Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) method is the power-down process a system should use to communicate to the monitor to save power. Power-down functions can be utilized only with an Energy Star system or display card which adheres to the VESA DPMS standard. By using the monitor’s horizontal and vertical SYNC signals, the monitor can be prompted into the different IPM modes. The following is the description of the LED indicator for the IPM power-saving modes:

Plug and Play
Plug and Play is the new Microsoft solution with Windows 95 to provide automatic peripheral connections without confusing and time-consuming setup. NEC developed the monitor’s Plug and Play capability that allows your Plug and Play compatible system to automatically identify, configure and optimize the monitor connected to it. The MultiSync LCD200 monitor automatically tells the system its identification and capabilities. NEC’s partnership with Microsoft provides you with simple installation, setup and service.

ErgoDesign Features
The MultiSync LCD200 monitor utilizes NEC’s ErgoDesign features philosophy that adapts technology to the way you work, increasing productivity through enhancements in comfort and ease of use. ErgoDesign features include a low glare screen treatment, power and brightness controls that are positioned within easy reach, easy-to-use on-screen controls and a tilt base that easily adjusts to each individual’s preferred angle of vision.
Reduced Emissions
Incorporating NEC’s own Reduced Magnetic Field technology, the MultiSync LCD200 monitor has minimal field emissions and follows the strictest international magnetic field, alternating electric field and electrostatic guidelines.
OSM (On-Screen Manager) Controls
The OSM (On-Screen Manager) controls simplify the MultiSync’s Advanced Digital Control System. The control system is easily accessed. Just touch the PROCEED button on the front of the monitor, which gives you access to the Position, Image Adjust and Contrast controls, the ColorControl System and many others. Use the front controls for navigation.
