The BOLAND VIEWPORTS are high
performance LCD video displays for
motion video display. Incorporating
Active Matrix Thin Film Transistor drive
technology, these display panels are
completely self-contained for replacing
CRT-type monitors. Active Matrix
means no LCD lag or smear on moving
video pictures. Operating in NTSC and
PAL composite video modes, the
monitors are compatible with CRTs,

• handling
A VIEWPORT display is rugged. As a
precaution though, please consider the
following general characteristics of
LCDs. These are not defects or
malfunctions:
Please handle the panel with care.
Since the panel is made of glass, sharp
blows to the screen, failure after
dropping onto a hard surface, etc., are
not covered by the warranty.
High voltages are present inside the
cabinet for the fluorescent lighting.
There are no fuses or other userserviceable parts inside. Do not
remove any screws or disassemble the
cabinet to stay safe and to retain the
warranty.
Use only factory-specified power
supplies for powering the panel.

instruction manual.
LCD damage. Extended temperature
models are available. Please also take
care to avoid electrostatic discharges.
When a panel is not installed, place it in
its packing material or place it face
down on a smooth table.
After several thousand hours of
operation, the special internal
fluorescent lamps will eventually taper
in their brightness. Please consult the
factory for replacement.
Over long periods of time, some
changes in luminance uniformity or
small dots may become visible,
depending on image content.
Avoid fixed video patterns for extended
periods of time. Some image retention
may occur. If possible, use an
interesting screen saver or black.
A wet, condensing atmosphere (dew or
fog) should be avoided. If you require
routine operation in these conditions,
please consult the factory (optional
accessories are available).
Note the normal operating and storage
temperatures in the specification. Do
not place the unit in the sun, as
theblack cabinet absorbs much heat.
Extreme temperatures, just as
uncomfortable for people, will cause
degraded performance or permanent
VIEWPORT Manual 1604a8 3
Please handle cables and connectors
with care. Please replace worn cables
with standard, locally-available parts
(see power supply substitution caution).
Some models come with a non-glare
acrylic (hard) plastic screen cover,
rather than the heavier glass, and is
therefore somewhat more sensitive to
scratching. Please clean this screen
with a soft cloth slightly dampened with
water or, if necessary, Windex

When mounting the panel on a flat
surface, allow clearance for any
connectors on the rear. In the corners
on the backside of most cabinets are
10-32 threaded inserts for accepting
mounting screws. Both 1" and ½" long
pan head screws are provided along
with large (fender) flat washers for use
under the screw heads. You may use

cabinet will be damaged.
The LCD monitor cabinets dissipates
only a few watts (see specifications), so
no special cooling or ventilation is
required. The mounting location may
usually be completely enclosed. But
avoid any mounting situations or other
nearby heat or environmental heat
sources that may cause the panel's
operating location to exceed
115°F/45°C to 140°F/60°C, depending
on model (see specifications).

VIEWPORT LCD monitors connect like
CRT-type monitors. The two
connections are video and power:

• Factory Service
After between about fifteen to fifty
thousand hours of service (as long as
10 years, even if used often, depending
on the model), it may be possible to
notice the screen brightness start to fall
off. Or, the fluorescent internal lamps
may not come on at all, or stay on
properly, especially when the
temperature is cold. In these cases,
the full brightness may be restored by
replacing the special type of internal
fluorescent lamps. This requires
extreme care in a very clean
environment. Please contact

for factory
replacement.
